Frost did dodge bullets earlier in the film but not on the level that Wade showed. And yes he got faster but it was to an unknown degree. It should also be noted that while La Magra Frost was faster than Blade, their combat speed was about even. Blade might have edged him but I like to think he won that encounter due to skill.
Anyway, Blade's sword fighting speed is much slower than Wade's.
I think what Wade did goes well above simply dodging. To see that many bullets, from all angles, coming at you, you almost have to see those bullets in slow motion it seems. Wade is better than the Butcher from Wanted. Blade might can time a bullet, but not that much automatic gunfire coming at him at once.
Yeah, Wade had insanely fast perceptions. If you actually watch his scene, he only starts turning after that one bullet is fired, after he notices the muzzle flash reflected in his one sword. To be able to turn and slice that bullet in half in that amount of time speaks of insane speed/reflexes. Hell, he even casually deflects a bullet back at the one shooter without even looking at him.
