This is the first one that we're worried about, the "automatically face target when using action" thing:


If it effects this, this change could mean that instant casts (procs like thundercloud, or just instant spells like ruin 2) will now be impossible to use unless you're strafing while facing the target. That menu option makes you turn to face your target when you use those instant casts, letting them go off without you having to stop and turn. This means if you're running away from a thing, you aren't facing the mob and you wont turn because of this change, so you can't use your instant spells. This also applies to instant skills that melee use; I don't think it'll effect them as much but it'll still be annoying.
