I thought dolphins attacked in the side, the "rib" area. The nose thing sounds familiar, though.
To answer the original question, it depends. If the shark is big and would kill me easily, bring it on when I'm unaware and get it over with. A smaller one that I would probably survive, I want to know he's coming so I can prepare to minimize the damage.
I don't how you could do it, but I've heard that the reason shark cages don't have tops is because sharks don't(can't?) attack in a downward direction. If there was a way to get below the shark maybe you could give your self time to get away/distract the shark somehow.
