Either get a good greatshield or do what you need to to get at least a medium roll. Artorias usually leaves an opening after his dash attacks. Keep blocking or dodging his attacks until he does one, then attack him. You can usually only hit him once before he retaliates with most weapons, unless you have one with a very fast swing speed.

The most important part of the fight is that if you see him do a double dash away from you, sprint after him because he's trying to use Wraith of the Abyss. Two-hand your weapon and just keep hitting him until you stagger him out of it. Not letting him use Wraith of the Abyss is really the key to winning.
