Well, in my opinion those are easy bosses to melee.
Old King Doran can be backstabbed with ease, especially if you're using the Thief's Ring.
Penetrator's attacks are amongst the easiest to dodge in all bosses, plus if you have Warding, then you don't have anything to worry about.
False King Allant is a bit harder, yet with a good shield, the battle goes very smoothly.
Even on NG+, I just meleed them instead of using magic, and i'm at 30 Magic stat ;)
