I'd eschew a high stability shield for a grass crest shield. Rolling's a much better option here as his attacks are fairly easy to dodge and if he starts up a combo blocking can prove fatal or at least very painful.

As far as I've tried, force doesn't do anything to stagger him (nor WotG). However, His charging up thing gives you a (huge) window to attack. Open up with Fire Tempest or something similar.
