Actually, in DS3, the equip-load doesn't affect the rolling speed, but it affects the rolling distance... the lighter you are, the farther you roll... which, IMO, isn't a smart mechanic, lightweight builds often use short range weapons, so, rolling too far away from an enemy can put you out of your attacking range.

As the rolling speed and the i-frames are strictly the same regardless of your equip-load, there's no point being lighter, unless you prefer rolling farther.
