I blinked backwards once when i jumped while blinking. Wouldn't have been so bad if i hadn't blinked OFF THE FREAKING EDGE OF OUTLAND. Thanks a lot, blink.
That's impossible. The only way you can use Blink and end up in a space where you can fall down is if there is no land in front of you while you use it in the air.
Blink is designed like this:
When you press Blink, the spot 20 yards in front of your character is chosen as the end teleport spot. You cannot teleport through solid objects, however. You cannot teleport over sharp increases of terrain (slopes that you cannot walk on). In those cases, you will only teleport to the spot right before it becomes impassable with those conditions. Also, places that separate indoors from outdoors, or objects that we treat as terrain, like bridges, all stop Blink.

blink carrys you forward based on momentum.... its a stupid mechanism that sometimes results in you blinking backwards.
The hell did you get that info from? Momentum has absolutely nothing to do with Blink. The reason you can Blink backwards is this:
When you hit the Blink spell, the spot 20 yards in front of your character is chosen as the end teleport spell. It's chosen, but Blink hasn't actually activated due to lag. You continue walking forward past the spot that you were chosen to teleport to, and eventually, when the information finally registers to the server, you Blink backwards.
The instantaneous Blink is from Blinking at an edge that would stop Blink, and then moving forward while it Blinks you to the exact spot you pressed it. There is no way you will ever Blink to a position behind the spot where you pressed Blink.
