You definetly want to drop down on your armor weight if you're also using the greatshield.

Use the shield to block. Roll when your guard is close to being broken/you're about to get a status effect/you want to get some breathing room. And if you don't want to sacrifice alot of armor, then equip Havel's Ring. Mobility is almost always a priority over armor in Dark Souls.
