The armor looks like it's a set you enjoy to Look of, and as such I don't think anyone would critisize it, particularly because it has helm of the wise (which cracks me up) and it happens to hit a poise break point (36 for some 1h resist)
As for your weapons/Shield well Ricards is good, I personally enjoy it quite a lot in PvE. And I think MORE people should use Solaire's shield, its got good stats for a medium thing.
Talismans are confusing (catalysts too) as they have differing base values and scaling values. Which means at some stat values which one offers the highest Magic Adjust is different. Since spell power (How much damage Wrath will do for example, Or how much SLB will increase your AR) is determined by Magic Adjust having the best talisman for the job is important. From what I can tell it's usually Canvas or Darkmoon as 30 and 50 are common stopping places.
I would also point out there is probably a good number of people accustomed to looking at builds from the perspective of SL120 or so. Where your build looks very similar to a build I use, I wanted to fast cast pyromancy WotG and use Darkmoon Blade. Naturally I had 40ish dex and 30 Faith. But I stopped right at 122 out of convention. Imagine my shock when I see such a similar build with FORTY strength compared to my meager 14.
I mention this because I've found SL120 to be quite busy, no matter the time of day I do not wait long for a fight, which I like. I've heard the wait at some levels is terrible. But if you are content with SL 160 (for some special reason, or no real reason just 160 is the level you wanna be at) I would move stats around like so. http://mugenmonkey.com/darksouls/?c=2301627892852624
It seems a shame to be a "high" soul level and in WoS and Not take advantage of a chance to hurl Sunlight Spears. But again take all that with a grain of salt, 28 STR is enough to 2h most weapons (sorry grant) and notably gives you access to DragonSlayerSpear, WashingPole, Murakumo as viable options for swaping around weapons.
