I also use Symbol of Avarice (The mimic helmet) and Coveted Silver Serpent Ring. Combined provide 44% more souls per kill according to http://darksoulswiki.wikispaces.com/Soul+Farming This is the first playthrough on this character. New Game+ will award much more souls than you are seeing in this video but with this method one could easily obtain 500,000 or so souls per half hour of farming (give or take; I didn't actually do the math but you can see how fast it goes in the video) In this video I am using Chaos Storm but you can do this with any spell that has decent AoE damage. I started farming these guys using Crystal Magic Weapon on my +15 Uchigatana. You should circle strafe around them to keep them bunched up and to keep moving so you dodge their melee and ranged attacks. Swing as you find openings while circling and keep moving. Once you get enough souls, get a pyromancer's flame and upgrade/ascend it to make this go much faster.
