I just killed him again with a new character today. Simply beat him with my club! I was doing about 144 damage per hit.

I think you are over thinking it. Just follow this strategy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEp9xHU3qzo

It is a bit slow, but is mostly foul proof. It worked for me in NG, NG+ and NG++. IF you are really uncomfortable with it, there is a completly foul proof strategy:

As above, wait for the dragon to jump onto the bridge. The second it starts moving, run for him, and strike him once with your most powerful running attack. Then don't hesitate, run back underground. You should have time to do that before he finishes landing, and throws his first attack. Rinse and repeat.
