Acturally the cuff are just like the escape button you buy from the IM that you wear. The only diffrence is that the cuffs are bought with stars and they last for 30 use. I don't recall them being able to break on mobs cept for when the useage is up.
I think best use for them is for hard quests since they are pretty much free escape buttons, if you cannot afford points.
