I disagree that WoG and GC have stricly the same uses. Both can be used to deal a quick bit of damage to a close opponent. But WoG can dead angle while GC cannot. GC has more casts making it a viable tool for chipping through shields. They also deal different types of damage. With WoG and GC with SLB the build becomes one of few builds that deals all 4 types of damage reliably. (Physical, Magic, Fire, and lightning)
Though I too would advise considering Great Magic Barrier, it's an amazing spell. And Black Flame's poise break could be useful as Katanas do not exactly do the best poise damage. Having the option to use miracles and pyromancy isn't a bad thing. It just gets kinda clustery when you have so few spell slots and one is already dedicated to a weapon buff.
