You can get more humanity from killing rats in the depths, but that is quite the walk just to get more. I think with what you have, you should be able to beat them on your own.

Standing still and hitting with Iron flesh is very hard for this boss. A general tactic for a slower character would be to walk backwards with your shield up and try to get them to separate. When you get one of them alone, wait for a window to attack. Usually immediately after blocking/dodging one of their hits. Just always keep in mind that Ornstein can leap at you from far away, so hide behind pillars to heal, or to get cheap hits in on Smough.

One thing to note is that summoning Solaire increases the HP of the boss, making them take longer to kill. Doing it alone makes tanking a little more viable since you will deal more damage overall to them while taking hits.

One hint I'll give as to the actual boss fight and not where to find materials is:

That if you haven't yet used Quelaag's soul for anything, you can forge a boss soul weapon that deals fire damage, which takes some getting used to using but will deal more damage. I never used it because I was so used to the pattern on my personal weapon (the Iato at the time).

That fight is killer difficult regardless. My personal method of attack was trying my best to coax Solaire into going after Smough and Ornstein to follow me away to separate them. I could clock Ornstein rather quickly (but I also had Crystal Magic Weapon which shreds everything), and I found that the resulting combo boss (when one absorbs the other power) was much easier to deal with in a 1 on 1 (or 2 on one if Solaire survived long enough) when it was the souped-up Smough. Then it was a matter of getting in close and learning when to run like hell during that ground-pound attack. Try to mess with Smough's hammer lunge by getting a pillar between you and him, then pummel him when he's staggered.

Sorry if that's too specific. I don't want to ruin the "fun" and like I said, it's still just a pain in the ass fight no matter what.
