Most of the swordsman you see use the same tactics over and over again. It's rare to find a skilled player these days.
My golden tactic (againts an average player) is to abuse Up, Up, Right Click.
If it hits correctly, the enemy will be stunned and spin around and away. If they don't spin far off, you can do it again. You can repeat this over and over again, and maybe add in a grip to end it, until your opponent figures out how to avoid it completely.
There is a bad delay so you're proned to some damage if you miss. You're dead if they know how to avoid it.
Another good tactic is to wait at a decent distance from your enemy while he/she is on the ground.
Stand about 'less than a lunge' lenght from the head or feet. Wait until they get up then LUNGE with Up, Up, Left Click.
It's effective if they roll your way or just get up, especially if they perform the rising attack.
Do it again if you can.
Another tactic, which is also good for all classes, is to run with (or along side) your enemy and not behind.
