If you are insane like me, you can make macros for half of your skills (at least the important ones) and add the line "/facetarget" before the action!

I am mostly maining Monk, but when I leveled up my tanks I found it extremely important to be facing the correct direction for casting stuns. Sometimes you have less than a second to react and fumbling around making sure you're facing the right way can be hard if you lose aggro. After I found this to be extremely effective with Brutal Swing and Shield Bash, I began using it for other important skills like Steel Peak, Leg Sweep, etc etc. Works great on pulling skills like Tomahawk and Shield Lob too! Try it!

Also if you have OCD Starcraft Syndrome where you have to have 100 Actions Per Minute you can mash the "face target" hotkey often. On keyboard I have mine set to "F" to face target. I'm not sure how it is on a controller, but I'm sure you can bind the action to a hotbar button, and it's probably found in the "Actions - General" tab.
