Note: I've been doing this all day, rather than the 30 page assignment due tomorrow morning. Commitment, ftw.
Praise your commitment!

Don't get me wrong, I agree that Gwyn is very 'abusable' for a final bossfight. Heck, in my speedruns all I did was parry him right after another, bringing him down with only a Claymore +5 (underpowered like hell). Of course time was of the essence.

If I were to redesign him a bit, I'd go halfway between what he is now (almost everything parry-able) and not parry-able at all. Enough non-parryable attacks to make you dodge, and some parryable attacks that require focus and a sharp eye to make use of the opportunity.
