I'm not sure why I have to explain this, but there's no reason to use defensive mode while dashing unless you're dashing into an ongoing fight where you need the survivability. When you stagger someone, you want to deal as much damage as possible, as quickly as possible, and offensive mode is simply better at that (the final lunge can hit 3 times for full damage). My point is that there's no point removing the stagger from defensive dash unless you replace it with something equal in power to a stagger, and a heavy attack debuff sounds lackluster to say the least.
