Do a barrel roll!
No, seriously, dodge. A few strong attacks and he goes down. There's usually a second or two between attacks, just don't get greedy. Remember that the campfire is just outside too so don't be afraid to use an Estus flask or two.
It's also worth noting that you should run away from him down the tunnel in the left wall the first time that you meet him, unless you're an expert and chose the black fire bombs as your starting gift (not recommended).
Lunging attack of the balcony +(holding R1 or R2 whilst falling off) will wipe out loads of his strength, then roll and dodge and strike soon after he has, hell, if you're struggling with him wait for Ornstein and Smough, then the 4 Kings....
