I thought duels were when you both agree to the fight (like with a red soapstone) and not when you randomly invade someone who is trying to progress through the level. So it seems perfectly fair for the host to use an Estus for an invasion which is different than a duel.

If someone is a caster, for example, they might have already used up some of their spells so if you invade they're at a disadvantage. They might have attuned Hidden Body instead of spells useful for PvP. Plus they might have souls and humanity on the line.
