DP never fought Shang Chi. Whenever he fought Wolverine (6 times) he never stopped during a fight to mock him (not counting the origins fight because that's the book where he got his extra voices and was hallucinating most of the fight, not to mention his main plan was to get Wolverine to fall for his traps instead of just fight him.) He didnt do anything like that when he fought Sabertooth (twice) or when he fought Daredevil and Siler Sable at the same time. So yeah, he wasn't just messing around, he was fighting like an idiot that time, leaving himself open for an attack and he normally doesnt do that when going all out, even if he doesnt want to kill his opponent.
You are overanalysing mate. Im pretty sure there are lots of examples of DP doing similar shit. When he fought Shang he acted like an idiot as well, he hesitated when fighting Tiger Shark etc. When he was fighting Wolverine he stood there and was laughing at him. No that doesn't prove he was messing around more than usual.Omigod look DP's messing around more than usual. Hell it wasn't even hard for me to find.
