If you know that swinging is always more effective than thrusting (which wouldn't always apply to a real situation but it does here), why the hell would you thrust on purpose?
The only plausible answer I can think of is that it is easier physically to move from a slash into a stab than slash and slash again (faster too). However, physically, 1 slash from a polearm would also just about cleave in 2 an average human...
So...
I guess the purpose was to keep warriors from spamming the same animation over and over (sucks for you, thieves, archers, mages, and pirates).
@Dusk -
I seem to slash more if I jump while hitting power strike, I seem to recall a 25 slash streak...
