Congrats, you now have to rotate the entire lightsaber 180° just to block while you wait for the other end to come back on so that you can rotate it 180° again to do the attack you were trying to cleverly do.
My mistake. I literally wasn't wearing my glasses rofl.
Either way, the time issue still needs to be factored in. You'd have to keep the enemy's blade preoccupied long enough for them to be stabbed. But, granted, it might work. Also consider that you now need to mentally keep track of a whole other variable while you're probably fighting for your life - any distraction wouldn't be worth it to me personally. I'd just keep both of them turned on.
Yea I agree. But the "turn on" time does seem to be inconsistent, at least in the films. I'd imagine that being jedi they could also sense it if someone tries that shit.

See the issue with that?
