How big is the Moment of Invincibility when backhopping with a lance, is it longer or shorter that with a roll. I'm just starting to be able to roll through attacks.

If you can't evade well then lances are quite hard to use against fast monsters, you run out of stamina. The bird wyvern pecks often break through your gaurd because it hits 3 or 4 times and you run out of stamina.
