No. If you are a melee class and you are not facing your target when your auto attack timer goes off, you lose that auto attack. It is very substantial in terms of DPS.

And you can't run through most monsters in end-game unless you wanna get cleaved for more than 100% of your hit points or stand in a barrowfield or something.
