What does rolling do for Fish?

Fish can roll, yes, but how is it useful? The wikia says it doesn't block damage, but it calls this ability "Dodge Roll". I played as Fish a bit but couldn't figure out the useful aspect.

The general consensus is that this skill is somewhat hard to use and learn, however if used correctly, it can be a significant help. The main uses for it are dodging bullets, and moving fast. The combination of these two uses allow for you reposition yourself into a useful location, such as into melee range while dodging bullets. You can also use your weapons while rolling.

Here is a nice discussion about whether or not it is useful.
