Only the Fragment Damage deals any hitstun.
Due to the large amount of hits for a relatively low cost, this skill is helpful for gaining Awakening Charge.
The range of the Fragment Rotation hits is about the same as a attack.
The fragments can activate counter attacks, but you will not flinch as you would when hitting a counter normally.
