Shawn, there comes a point in dynamic rollover when even lowering the lever won't save you - once that roll acceleration starts nothing can stop it until you roll over, I know I have been there in an R22.
The main thing to stress in the prevention of dynamic rollover is to fly the disc as you lift to the hover and lift off gently - if you are in the habit of snatching the takeoff you are far more likely to roll over if the cyclic is not in the right place. Keep the disc level with as much cyclic as is required as you apply power and on a skidded aircraft you can afford to pause with the machine light on the skids to make sure it is not trying to drift or skid to the right or that one of the skids is not stuck in or to the ground.
