You can't upgrade the whip's durability. However, the Bracing Knuckle Ring will reduce equipment wear. Having multiple whips can also help, if you're willing to invest the Titanite.

In my opinion, the Old Whip is quite overrated as the standard and Bloodied Whip hits hard as well. I think the Old Whip is also upgraded through Twinkling Titanite, which will have a major impact on the damage gap between it and other whips.
