Don't know if you've done it yet but I know these guys are a hassle. Just got back to them on NG++ and having a tough time getting used to them again. The best advice I can give you is look up strategies on the wiki, or do what I do and equip physical damage armor with some magic defence gloves/leggings, the Mask of the Child and Grass Crest shield to boost stamina recovery, and cast Power Within at the beginning after dropping down into the Abyss. Then just stick as close as you can to one King and whittle at him from behind. Use two-hands but switch and guard or roll when he performs a swing attack. If he thrusts then stay behind him and nail him. The goal with this strategy is not to relent and when you're not dodging or blocking, you're attacking.
