Blockstrings are a rapid series of attacks (which would normally combo) that you do with the intention of your opponent blocking. You then end the last attack with something that would give you frame advantage on block. From this point, you can start another blockstring to further confuse your opponent, hit them with a light attack that will beat out whatever they throw, or throw them while they're confused. Blockstrings are mainly meant to mindfuck your opponent.
block strings are a string of attacks where you're continually hitting the opponent while they're stil in block stun (so you're at a frame advantage and within range for each attack on block as described above. I would say that they are not just for 'mindfucking' as fransisco mentioned, but also for keeping the pressure on your opponent/ and the momentum on yoru side.
