Oh, forgot to mention. With this strategy, while tanking Kings becomes a lot easier, the only two things you need to watch out for are their huge purple AoE explosions, and their Humanity Drain attack. The AoE can really punish you, but it won't kill you in one hit. Surprisingly, the Humanity Drain is pretty easy to survive - if you don't have any liquid Humanity on you, it won't really do all that much damage, and if you rapidly tap R1/L1, you can reduce the damage just like any other grab. Beyond that, though, you should be fine - generally speaking, the other Kings won't mess with you while you're screwing with one, although you might see a random sword pop in from the sides, every now and then. Just keep on your toes, and you'll be fine.
