I'm not a big fan of blocking as a requirement for controlled retreat either. It makes just as much sense to me to use the extra reach of a 2hnder to fight a retreating battle as a shield. An alternative path for cruel blow other then assassination might also be nice.
As for waiting with block, it can actually be useful on a tanky character with song of elbereth & little damage output. Sometimes your surrounded & just need to survive a couple more rounds till everything starts running.
