PvP maul werebear question

Now I know a lot of people dont have these since there isnt a lot of success with them but I am currently working on 3 different werebears and many many different setups. Actually just wrote a 3 page outline of about 9 different setups ranging from defensive/deadlystrike/pure max damage and all based on vitality vs. titan vs. mix stats.

Okay here is the question: What fhr is necessary in pvp melee combat. I know everyone says 86 fhr (6 frames). However when I have tested (on wolf mind you) I find out that after you hit 42 fhr(4 frames) hitting 86(3 frames) on wolf isnt essential. But i also found that zero on wolf (7 frames) you tend to see that fhr is essential.

I'm wondering is there kind of a breakpoint in which fhr isnt essential because of block rate and attack speed. If so what bp is that. A lot of my builds are based around 54 fhr and I would hate to invest only to find out that i need 86 fhr.

edit: I noticed my numbers were a bit off .... if with zero fhr my wolf has problems at 7 frames. And 7 frames is what a bear is at with 54 .. then maybe I need 86 fhr. Thanks for the help so far please keep the comments coming.
