This totally screws your rotation. While a DRG may have less positional requirements (speaking of the number of skills with pos req), those requirements are actually less forgiving compared to a Monk.
I will add to this, that IMO, having a positional at the start of combo is more difficult than one at the end. This is because it is typically the opener (in our case, HT), which means the mob is not yet "set". There's always an instance where I attack thinking that the tank has already moved the mob to a position, only to see it turn and I end up missing the side. On the other hand, i rarely miss Impulse Drive. I typically go with HT-> Phlebotomize as a starter before I go with my ID->CT combo. This means that, after positioning for HT, hitting it with Phle (and possibly using Off GCD moves in between), by the time I need to start ID-> CT combo...I am 99% sure that this mob is facing the correct way.

Since ID is also a rear positional attack (where a DRG spends majority of the time anyway), it makes the odds of missing it even lower.
