Try going to hunstman cropse, the area directly after it has a merchant that sells 10 small titanites. Yeah it has to do with paying 2k souls to unlock the contraption. The boss of that area is incredibly easy considering how far you went through the game it should be a breeze. And area directly after it has two branches of yore as i stated, and it also has enemies that drop titanite. 

I actually just got there last night, I figured out what I missed. I had to talk to the priest lady in Heide's tower to get her to move to the contraption to open the path to huntsman cropse. I was so excited buying up her spells I forgot about the talk option. I just started to explore the area, last I did was unlock a bonfire next to a cave with a nasty caster inside animating skeletons.

Before that I cleared black gulch for large titanite and titinate chunks. Fire sword +6 now and sorcere's staff +9. Defeated the boss there with some help, but could have done it on my own probably. First primal bonfire and another fire seed. I went back to Sinner's rise to try that boss again with my newfound confidence. I survived the first hit (barely) then settled into my routine of dodging and waiting for the right time to fire off a shot. Pretty easy after lighting the area. Second primal bonfire.

Then I unfroze the statue blocking the switch in Majula where the knight with the blue sword sits. Beware, nasty ambush, dead. Died again at the other side after unlocking the bonfire. Then the game screwed up and the door stayed locked, fast travel reset it and I could open the way again. Anyway decided to got to huntsman copse first, after unfreezing the statue in the bastille on the path to sinner's rise for more spells.

Holy spell options explosions with 3 new merchants. I spend all the souls from the bosses and farming Black gulch buying up all the new goodies. Fire seeds, new rings, new category of dark hexes. I currently have equipped Lighning spears, Dark orbs, Great soul arrows, Homing soul arrows, fire balls. I want more spell slots! Fun juggling Fire sword +6,  Sorcerers staff +9, Dark pyromancy flame +6, Priest chime +2 (need the tritanite there) and a shield while trying to carry a torch.

What is the black gulch area? It's after which boss/area? 

Skip the cave with the skeletons, i think that if their is some sort of divine ember we should wait for that before going in. Instead their is a path to the boss of the huntsman cropse and the area after that has an insane amount of loot.
