This is way down the board now, but:
you said:
Joe S described lip slurs as being a timing coordination between a pulse of air and a change of the embouchure. I believe that the best players do this whether or not the valves are being moved, while the rest of us depend on the resonance of the new valve tubing to make things happen. His description fits with yours pretty well.

Right on the money. A valve slur done well is exactly the same: air impulse coordinated with embouchure change and valve change. Takes practice to make it work.
