Especially for the last two timed dungeons, it's much better to learn to dodge roll while staying close and aggressive. That's pretty important for other bosses, too. You're immune to damage while rolling, so it's only the longer attacks that can still hit you (later bosses have some). It can be a little tricky to time the dodging on the first swipe attack since he holds it so long, but you can stay right next to him and dodge at the right time, usually after 3 swings with a sword. The big pound from above comes faster, but a roll will still cancel it, and you can stay right up against him.

During stage 2, you can still stay up against him and dodge the same way (though often you can get all 4 hits in before dodging if you're fast). If you do happen to get hit, it'll bounce you back, and you have to sprint to dodge the stream. Or it looks like you can get right next to him again, but I haven't tried that... I rarely get hit :).
