Dodging does actually work pretty well, just not for every attack. It's the primary way to get openings to deal health damage though. In an ideal situation you dodge in the first half or so of the fight and counter to deal hp damage and then deflect and attack their guard in the 2nd half to raise and break their posture. A lot of times you need to deflect the combo opener and dodge a follow up though and obviously some enemies are more about deflecting and some more about dodging.
