Always focus on deflecting over dodging. I don't think you actually get any invincibility frames from sidestepping an attack. If a weapon looks like it connects with your character model then it will deal damage even if you think you "dodged" through it.

You do get invul frames on dodging but they're very minimal and enemy attacks are so fast that you should basically never be trying to Dark Souls dodge "through" any attacks. There are extremely specific moves that dodging is great against, but they'll always have massive windups + cooldowns that identify them as such - and even then you may be better served parrying against a lot of those.
