I find it difficult to switch from tongue blocking with the slaps and quickly switching to pursing to achive bending.  Is there a location where I can learn bending with tonguing OR how to switch back and forth from pursing to bend and tongue blocking.

You will find everything you could possibly need in David's bending series of lessons. Starts with bendin at the bottom and middle, goes to the top end, even includes Ross Garren's lessons on overbending.
