A shield would help but is unnecessary. An easy tactic is to always stay behind him. Hit him only once or twice depending on the speed of your weapon. Bleed can help. If he jumps or moves into a position against the wall, cross the arena away from him. To dodge the slow swings wait til the last minute to dodge. Dodging will be easier if you have less than 20% equip burden. At which point you will have max speed and distance in your roll. Memorize his moves and dodging becomes even easier. If time properly you roll through the first bit of his sweeping attack.
