Jin's 2D is +1 or 2 on block, I forget. You're not really at a disadvantage until someone IB's it.
If you were doing a blockstring as Jin (which I'm assuming is the char you're referring to), you'd be better off continuing pressure with:
d.2A/5A, 5B > stuff, stuff > TK ice blade, etc. Make people respect your 2D, especially since it takes a primer now.
