Trying to heal during this fight is almost pointless. Getting lifeblood masks are much better, not just for the additional health, but because you won't be tempted to heal and get punished for two masks of health. I found that mark of pride helps immensely for this fight. You can pogo attack safely after the dive attack if you get the timing down (double jump before he dashes after the dive, pogo on his head) and it's much easier to attack him during the flame pillars. If you get used to the pillar times, you pass underneath him and hit him several times during the attack, then shadow cloak through the flames and hit him a few more. Trying to pogo without mark of pride during the dive will usually get you hurt because he stands up and his head will collide with you without the extra range. The entire fight just comes down to recognizing his attacks and remaining calm throughout the fight. Very fun once you get the hang of it. But panicking will almost always get you killed. His music is fantastic, and I wish it was included in the game's official soundtrack.
