I was feeling kinda burnt out on Souls by the end, but maybe Ill check out the DS2 dlc stuff after seeing all this praise

bring Warmth if you can. should be possible even on a minimum attunement build by simply equipping a Ring that gives you spell slots. all three of the DLC areas are proper dungeon crawls and the value of being able to stop, rest for 30 seconds, and heal yourself up without using Estus is pretty helpful. buying 99 life gems is another solution. normally I'd cast Warmth and then use a life gem to get my health back up quickly between encounters, and save my fast estus healing or my slightly less fast life gem healing for restoring HP during combat.

it's also been a while since I've played but if I remember correctly most of the enemies in all three DLC areas have pretty good resistance against magic and faith builds, but they are susceptible to physical attacks as well as dark damage. I know in Shulva if you're running any kind of spell build it's pretty much worth it just to make one of the weapons that scales your Intelligence stat as physical damage because the enemy resistance to magic damage is so high. miracle builds have to rely on hexes and dark weapons.
