Daimon uses his vortex attack after losing 2-3 initial HP bars for either forms (To be specific - 2.5 HP bar or so) and his second one seems to occur when he's at his last 2-3 HP bars but only seems to use it at certain points of time so you're not likely to see it unless you drag things out too long.

As a footnote, clinging onto him is, ironically, one of the safest and most efficient way to stagger him when he's using his vortex attack. (Unless you're a Mage/Sorceror)

Just strike him repeatedly in either forms when he's using his vortex attack (Prepare some Mushrooms or Liquid Vim if your Stamina is low, but you're likely to stagger him before your Stamina drains) whilst clinging onto Daimon - note that your Stamina would drain fairly quickly because of the Vortex but you wouldn't be actually sucked into it whilst clinging onto Daimon and you could quickly stagger him this way, particularly if you don't have any ranged-based measures to take care of him.

Another note is that Fracture Darts seems to be fairly effective against his second form and I stun locked him once when I was using Thousand Kisses on his head with two Pawns spamming Fracture Darts (They seem to be fond of using the skill when facing Daimon's second form) and he literally died flailing all around the place.
