With Ash Lake I managed to find a sweet spot where I'd block his head attack, go after the head with my sword and then as I was moving towards him he'd always shoot the ranged attack over my head. I wasn't even trying to dodge. I'm not sure if I got lucky or if he always does that.

But it was easy to avoid damage that way because I was usually able to get close to him before he aggroed whereas the Darkroot basin seems to aggro much earlier so you have to dodge several ranged attacks before you're close enough.

I was able to lock on to his body at Ash Lake though and I thought that if you can lock onto something it means the spells will hit. It just didn't look like it was doing anything.
