After trying to use the recovery glitch mentioned after 10 or so hours of game time, I have to say it works but with a minimal amount of chance to successfully use it. I also noticed that there is a very narrow time frame where it seems to function while being attacked (one notices that you cannot move your view for a few seconds, but before you receive the final blow you can change your view).
Today I was able to pull it off 5 times with great success, attacker was dead and I survived (with twice as many recoveries but failed to hit the assailant). The chance of success was about 1-5% but I think if one can figure out the timing, I'm confident the chances of success will rise from a range of 10-20%.
I also notice that some players were able to use block in the middle of an assault, I think the same trick is applied.
This may be by random chance or lag but... I was playing as maul, was double pulled (the usual procedure), then when I landed (a normal air smash was not possible) used the 'spin backslash' and was able to knockdown the Aayla using this technique. I received only 1/3 of the damage. Further testing should be done to confirm it.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
