I don't know... I feel that Pyromancy seems to loss its flare after a high enough soul level, due to many factors of the other spell types over doing it at level 120. So, I changed some stuff up a bit to... improve it, with other minor as well as common equipment...

With the use of attunement to 50, you get the maximum amount of slots you can get without rings, which is 10. A good amount of spells at your disposal is best, especially if you go into long battles and you depend on your Pyromancy. With the use of the Dusk Ring, you get +50% more spells in total. For example, the 4 you get form one slot of Great Fireball, you now get 6. Have four attunements of Great Fireball with the Dusk Ring is equivalent to having Six, in which case allows better combinations and free roam for you to select different spells. However, it also decreases your HP by 50% as well... so I fixed it.
With the use of Ring of Favour and Protection, as well as Mother's Mask, you get what you would get from 50 vitality, 750, to 1035. It is not much, but the addition of those almost 300hp (shy about 15) helps. Plus, the use of some Poise may also help from players with fast weapons from interrupting your casts. As well, the use of a High Stability Shield (Balder for an Example) Would help. Dexterity had been put well to over 25, more so for casting that for the actual weapon. For this, I gave you a Shotel, since those who try to not get hit by fire may depend on Shields, including Spear and Rapier Users, as well as Halberds. The High Vitality is their to make up for the lost of vitality form the Dusk Ring. With the use of enough equipment load shy enough for a fast roll, a good amount of stamina at your disposal, the use of plentiful amount of spells that you can cast faster due to greater speeds, your pyromancer would be good at fighting with just pyromancy.
Just a food for thought. I never used Dusk Ring with that much HP stuff in use, usually for just Sorcery Glass Cannons. However, I think I would not be criticized much for using the Mask and Ring of Favour with the combination of Dusk Ring. Pyromancy, compared to Sorcery, is not a very fast caster, and a good amount of insurance would be best to start with BEFORE you even think of using Pyromancy without such things. Just
Hope it gives you some ideas, if you do not take it.
