The only real suggestion I can give you for this problem as it exists already is to be aiming your camera in the direction you want to move and jump just before using the ability. Your character will auto-face, attack/cast/release, and immediately return to the prior facing without being able to actually change direction.

That said, it would be great to have an option allowing us to imitate that same process without actually having to remember to L&R MB + Space every time (or the controller equivalent). It's literally the only use I have for the space bar at the moment.
