What is the best strategy for Artorias?

You will want to turtle and stay close to him at all times, not taking any damage but not trying to attack. When you see him do a flip away from you, immediately pursuit. If he does yet another flip, immediately 2-hand your weapon and get to him asap, for he is starting to charge his power-up.

Is Knight Artorias weak to anything?

He doesn't appear to have any weakness, only resistances. All DLC bosses are resistant to Magic, Fire and Lightning damage. So simply put, do not use elementals against them. They have, in my experiences anyways, standard defense to physical damage.

Should I give the Soul of Artorias?

Her outfit may be ugly, but it's got some pretty decent defense. But even then, giving her the soul is a horrible idea.

LOL, Artorias took me several tries, Gwynn only once. With Gwynn, I walked in all prepared for lightning damage, only to discover he deals all fire damage.
