I've noticed something similar to this a few times, but generally its when I don't have the enemy soft-targetted and they end up being able to slip by my hitbox while I'm clunkily winding up. This might be what you're experiencing?
(I recently took wrecking blow off of my 2h bar in pvp because of how little times I actually am able to effectively use it due to situations like I described)
