I beat Queelag easily the second time. I turned human and summoned the offline Phantom just outside. I Soul Arrowed her butt

Meh, you gave in into summoning  

But seriously, you probably did the most intelligent thing. I was undead (i'm trying to save my humanity for later), so she was always on my butt (plus I didn't have any spell nor bolts to use xD).

I had to, since I was 2-shoted by her due to my measly 14 Endurance, 10 Resistance and 12 Vitality. Also, me being a Sorcerer demands keeping a distance and casting spells but she was constantly in my butt! Anyways, even she was nothing to Capra Demon and the 2 &%$^%# dogs, I died at least 20 times to them >_<

So, after this, where should I go? I tried New Londo Ruins, and got to a dead end, also couldn't use Black orb eye to restore my Flame Keeper

PS: I got lucky and got Black Knight Sword early on, pity that I have a Strength of 14

PS2: I also hit the Bell Gargoyle's tail by accident on my first try and dropped the Axe, but I died before getting it >_>

Hey you have more Vitality than me I'm still at my initial 11 Vitality for my Depraved XD. 

Well, the story points you to Sen's fortress (which is located near the Blacksmith on Undead Parish), but you probably don't want to tackle it as the ramp of difficulty is pretty high from what I've gathered. You could go to Darkroot Gardens or The Great Hollow to get some levels and equipment or revisit the Undead Asylum (which is what I'm going to do myself). 

Capra Demon was pretty easy for me (one shotted it), you just had to take care of the dogs first since they were the major threat in the battle. If you left them alive then it was a quick death for you. 

Well, you didn't miss much, I thought the Gargoyle Tail Axe was a good weapon, but it's meh-ish in terms of stats and scalability. It's strength is in the range, since it has an ever longer reach than a Greataxe or Two-Handed Sword, but with the handling of a normal Axe.
