otherwise it would say "cancel the next 2 damage that WOULD BE assigned"

but it's not canceling the assigning, it's cancelling the damage dealt as a result of the assigning.
Still no idea where you're getting the dealt-bit from. Deal damage includes assigning and applying the damage. Current Flagellants only allow cancelling of the next 2 damage assigned. There is no retroactive cancelling of damage already assigned (since it's worded "next 2"), nor is there any cancelling of damage dealt or to be applied, just assigned. At least not with the current wording (barring FAQ re-wording).
Did you think about playing some Dwarf Alliance and Trollslayers? Gurni's elite es too loyalty expensive, but Trollslayers in a battleflied developing deck will work nice for just 1 loyalty.
If I'm only going to use one Dwarf card, I think it would be a waste to include any Alliance cards. That said, Troll Slayers would still only cost four resources. It's not a bad idea, but I already have one four resource unit (Greatswords) and I really want to keep my costs low. I'll switch out my Vigilant Pistoliers for Troll Slayers and test it out, at least.
