DRG - How does Spineshatter Dive/Elusive Jump interact with AoE?

[CapricaLangley]

I'm relatively new to the job (never done any high end content on it) and I was asking myself how does the ability work with AoEs and mechanics. (same for elusive jump)

What happens if I use it and an AoE goes off in between me and the boss, but the landing point is clear?

How does it interact with "sticky" AoEs like the ones from Titania Extreme? Can I use it to jump over?

What happens if I use SD or elusive jump while being pushed by an enemy skill with knockback like the hand from Voidwalker or the jump from Titan?

Please help me, and i'd be glad if you could explain me other notable interactions.
