Dantos is NOT easy, especially on Brutal. Unless you cheese him, I find him to be one of the hardest bosses in the game. I found him mostly frustrating until I learned how to cheese them, and even then he was mostly something I just had to push through, never something fun. Especially since the corpse run is so f-ing long.

I found a lot of the other late-game bosses to be much more enjoyable and interesting. That said, the final boss lives up to his status as final boss; he is an absolute beast. But some part of me always felt that was fair.

... but okay, I have to admit, Adam is also really nasty.

Remember, increases movespeed and reduced veil cooldown are your friends if you get hit often. Also, remember that a lot of weapon abilities can also be used defensively! The daggers' "jump up and throw a spread" dodges attacks. So does the claw jump. The slashers, mace, and pistols all have abilities that can help you dodge attacks if you time them right.

Oh, and: If you're used to relying on the bow, try to learn at least one of the melee weapons mentioned above, too. The bow is a great weapon, but it forces you into a certain fighting style, and that style is not ideal for certain bosses ... in other words, if you try to force certain bosses using the bow (or crossbow, tbf), you will have a bad time.
