The follow-up attack could use that mechanic, but replace the necessity of being a Committed / All-Out Attack (losing the skill/damage bonus thereof) with the requirement of following a successful attack roll that was successfully defended against.
I do like the mechanics for Spinning Attacks ... with a few tweaks, it's just about perfect for another style, which I shall post forthwith.

For Remise, I'm still leaning toward the fairly straightforward Rapid Strike-cribbed-from-Cleaving Strike mechanics ... I'll have to see how it plays, but it seems both balanced and effective.
