I understand what you mean..My jut sao is different because we use the thumb to grab...infact in some cases we dig the fingers into your arm while we jerk you...But this motion is done for just a second...while punching you.
how ever the way you mention Jut Sau is also apart of our salutation in SLT...We utilize it that way as we do with the jum sao...The Jum Sao is good tool from the bridge to utilize...
But i speak the last part as basically my experience from sparring and chi sau with different people....Because in sparring a non-wing chun person their attacks and strikes will be different!

Besides the clip, I have a hard time even knowing where to start answering the OP questions. I guess first you would have to define exactly what you mean by jut sau/lap sau? Next, to have any real discussion, you would have to look further than just the technique because WCK is not technique based - it is concept/principle based.
So a better question might be "What concepts/idea suport and dictate usage of jut sau, and what is the proper mechanics with these ideas in mind?" - because things like leverage, contact point, energetic on the bridge, gate theroy, box theory, etc all play into in why and how a given technique is being used.
And I would ask, why not answer your own question?
