Personally I love to stay outside of the attack range of a boss and just pelt them with pyromancy, especially the capra demon (from the ledge by the top of the stairs), and the taurus demon (after the plunging attack). I know that so far I have killed gwyn with pyromancy every time(3 times so far I believe).
For Seath, he was a pain until I got his tail and came back. Then I just stuck close and pummeled him.
For the demon firesage, I figured out I could easily hit him with a fireball type pyromancy after or during any attack, meaning that any time I avoided taking full damage from one of his attacks, he took full damage from one of mine.
For priscilla, manual aiming fireball type pyromancy is the fastest, easiest, and safest way to break her invisibility.
Most of my strategies involve killing it with fire, but when I can use it effectively, it destroys almost anything.
Also, with ornstein and smough I recommend using a weapon that does NOT have reach. Get in close. It might be harder to dodge, but it is much harder for them to target and hit you effectively, especially smough. Also, they are yet another boss which is weak against fire damage, so I recommend buffing your weapon with it. So far, it seems they are much easier to take down with many smaller hits in rapid succession than a few bigger hits.
For the bridge wyvern, shoot him in the face, run up to his foot, hit a few times and up against the wall directly to the side of his foot, the fire pillar cannot reach you there. But, if he hops to somewhere else on the bridge, run underneath the bridge and hide till he goes back to his perch, unless you want to get barbequed.
