Don't go Dark on Purple Flame Shield, you'll waste it's biggest asset, the Guard Reduction. Just wait it out until you get the Dark Silver Shield in 5-3, it's the best 100% magical damage reduction shield in the whole game, you won't need any other ;)
I didn't use the light sets much when I first played the game, I thought that the more armour, the better, so I always wore the biggest, heaviest armour available. NG+ changed my view on armour completely xD Light armour and mobility > Heavy armour XD, that is, unless you do Heavy armour and mobility at the same time, which > godlike :P
