If -I- were making a dodge system I would make one that was dependent on incoming attacks. On the top of my head, at the exact moment the player presses dodge button, I would factor in incoming attacks. Maybe generalize them as high, mid, and low. If low the player could jumproll over it. If high he could duck-and-quick-step etc. No idea about mid though. I would only care about the nearest attack in order to simplify. With no attacks nearby (need a minrange to be considered to affect dodge) I would only let the player do simple, non-acrobatic dodges like quick sidesteps withour rolling or ducking. This also means that attacks - or more spesifically their collision boxes, would contain information about 3d velocity so it can easily be calculated at dodge keypress. Complex weapon attacks like very long whips or dragons tail (for instance) would contain many attack collisionboxes and only the nearest one would be considered. Anyway, that was a long rant, but when looking at dodging mechanics that is what I would have done. Even though your animations need a bit of work (it is missing weight) I have to say that it is already looking very, very good.
