Okay, I'm a dex/pyro main:
Definitely don't do 35 vitality. For a feeble build like this with low poise, and light armor you want at the very least 45(I capped at 49). Your endurance shouldn't need to go past 40, because that's where stamina stops decreasing; again you should be wearing light armor. It shouldn't be too difficult to find light enough armor to fast roll.
The 29 strength is not necessary. If you absolutely need to one-hand the Murakumo, stay at 28. I would personally suggest though that for this build you just cap at 14 or 16 strength, depending on your choice of shield(I did 16, for the Silver Knight Shield). At just 14 strength you have other great powerhouse dex weapon choices such as the Uchigatana and the Great Scythe. Stick with those, unless you absolutely love the Murakumo.
45 dex is good for the casting speed. So lower you strength to 14 or 16. Your attunement is fine where it is, although I went to 23 for the extra slot, and dump ALL other points into vitality. You'll definitely need it.
Weapon wise, drop the lightning. This is a dex-scaling build for a reason, so you should only be using normal weapons. The scaling from these weapons is greater than any elemental path you could take, and will be even better buffed(although I usually don't bother). Trade the uchi in for a nomal one, and with Quelaag's equipped, make sure you have at the very least 10 humanity at all times. Try out the Estoc or other piercing swords. I did, and fell in love.
Ring-wise you're doing okay, but I would favor the bellowing dragoncrest ring over the wolf ring, as it adds between 20-26% damage to all pyromancies. This is personal peferance though, as I feel like I'm quick enough to get away and not need the poise(My poise is only enough to resist daggers, so essentially I have none, and that is enough).
While putting together a light enough armor set, consider the Crown of Dusk(part of the Antiquated Set), as it raises pyromancy damage by 20% as well.
As far as spells go you look pretty good. Great combustion is always the better choice over combustion, and never use power within in pvp. Unless you absolutely are going for the quick kill method. That isn't what this should be, so only use that against hack and slash bosses like the four kings. I don't use it at all, as I find it to be a joke of a pyromancy.
Need any more help just ask
Good luck!
