The Copper Mace hits well but these guys pack a massive hit and with slow Stamina they are a pain. I assume the Healing Mead for this? I was using Fire Arrows to clear Draugr Villages in the surrounding Meadows but the Crypts sound like close-quarter fighting.

I'm not that proficient with Shield and Dodge yet. I have a max-level Wood Shield. Should I use a Copper Buckler?

Try timing your blocks right(for a parry), it will stagger them. And you maybe need better food and/or a Bronze Buckler. In the crypts just cheese them by mining away the top part of a pile so they can't reach you, so you can just shoot them with arrows.
