UPDATED VIDEO : youtu.be/PhjLcFGvS7w 6 different ways to dodge Malenia's flurry, with every newfound strat of the last couple weeks.
This attack is also known as the multihit 1000 slashes combo, waterfowl dance, whirlwind attack and other fancy names to describe this bullshit slashes spam that was probably not playtested before release.

Malenia, Blade of Miquella will always do this attack upon reaching 70-65% hp, so you can preemptively space it out and trigger it at a distance that lets you outrun the first combo. Since she catches you no matter what when rolling away, you need to roll into and behind her once she catches up for the 3rd combo particularly. These dodges are a mix of Demon Prince-like blind spots and tracking juke by rolling at key moments to both dodge hits and lead her to go in the direction you want for the final slashes combo on the ground.
This dodge is precise but consistent from dodging it a few dozen times during my testings, however the point blank flurry she can do at any point later in the fight is still a problem for now and will need some more refining to solve.

Additional notes :
- If you're slightly too close to outrun the first combo, a well timed jump as she gap closes can help create distance. That will however not save you from a flurry starting at point blank.
- It is possible to break Malenia's poise during the mid-air jump windup and interrupt the attack, which I've managed to do a few times by accident. She seems to retain her normal poise during the windup and so having already damaged her poise health before helps interrupting the move.
