Part of me wished the old stances like these gets a few more updated combos rather than just becoming transmute core fodders...

Until now I'd still pick CD or VR over this just because the other two actually features different swordplays, as well as having more than two combos. And all three of them are Rare type mods, Rare. And yet this one lacks any unique traits other than a minor boost in mobility.

Wings and Beak: Two diagonal slashes, then a stab dealing impact proc. Simple, quick, and is able to stagger most units. However, it's range is limited, only able to strike probably at most 2-3 units (that's if they're bunched up in a very tight group).

Taking Flight: Two diagonal slashes, followed by a double vertical slash forward (which deals 2x damage and has a high chance to deal headshots), then another two diagonal slashes, ending with a final slash that knocks enemies down, away, or procs certain radial effects when using specific swords. Similar to Wings and Beak, but with a bit more movement, damage, and CC. However, that last AoE proccing slash WILL render your frame unable to do anything else other than moving for a second or two as it recovers from the swing, depending on the weapon's attack speed. That one particular problem is the final nail to this stance's coffin (at least to me), because otherwise this would've been a nice mobility combo that allows you to chase down enemies that are away from your sword's reach.

As of now, I'd probably suggest this stance only if you haven't gotten the other two stances yet. :|

On another note, imagine if this stance got updated with Raiden's moveset. Just a thought.
