Don't try to block 2 star Draugrs or even 1 stars for that matter. Use the backup method until you know you can block or even better parry them. When they or just about any critter is about to strike move back (they telegraph something awful) and then after they miss go in and get a hit or two. On 1 and 2 star mobs don't try to take more than 2 swings because you will get hit. I recommend one until you get it down and If a group swarms then hightail it outta there. The fool stays and usually dies.
