The Gorecyclops and Garm fights are probably kicking your ass because of level. They hit particularly hard and your HP/DEF isn't up to fending them off. Assuming you're sticking with MK, then possibly studying up on some Perfect Block stuff might be helpful, because combining them with other sigils (Ruinous Sigil, Great Cannon and the holy furor Beacons, when available) will really help you out.

JGonzales above is spot on in his comments, though. Without knowing what you want to emphasize, leveling some more as either Sorcerer or Assassin will never hurt-- but I'd do the Sorcerer post 100 so you can catch those last pre-100 Strength and Stamina gains from Assassin first. Especially the stamina.
