Enemies still 'hit' you while you're cobra dodging, it'd be so troublesome to deal with otherwise.

This. This is another example of suspending reality becoming necessary for the sake of game balance. Being able to gain momentum off of crits on Cobra dodges, apply statuses, etc, is necessary. Can you imagine trying to dense thunder a demon hunter, or Ruby Beam blind them, only for it to be dodged and the status not applied? It'd be full immunity to damage in far more situations than it already is.
