If you watch it carefully, sometimes you can kind of predict where it's going to land. At that point try going at it at a dead sprint and try a blink strike. If you like playing as a fighter and still want to aggro the griffin fairly easily, consider being an assassin since you can still use a shield and sword yet you can get the shortbow to aggro the griffin. The main downside to this is that you lose access to personal use of many of the heaviest armors in the game, but for the purposes of just dragging that griffin down to farm a few materials really quick you aren't losing too much as you can easily just switch back afterward. As a ranger, I've personaly aggroed the griffin a few times (twice before even getting the griffin quest) while it was still flying high and fairly far away by shooting arrows at it. I'm pretty sure I never hit it, but it still noticed the arrows and came to attack.
