as a souls noob who is also playing vagabond melee - bumping HP is fine, it's good to boost endurance as well. I think Dex 12 gets you an awesome halberd. Also try an equipment setup where you have medium load instead of heavy load - your dodges are better. You don't magically become an invincible acrobat, but you'll be able to escape combos and such. Try that for a bit and then try to go back to heavy load, that's when you'll really notice the difference haha.

Man I bought that stupid shackle to try and beat Majeit and I still can't do it. Ugh.

Get your summons to +2. I think I tried wolves and demi-humans and the demi-humans were a little better but the boss for them is aggravating. The shackles help the summons avoid AOE damage in phase 1. And just try to land heavy shots, jumping heavy shots, charged heavy shots, etc while he's distracted by the summons. You'll be able to stun him if you keep up pressure with heavy attacks.
