They'll learn positioning, and the second is mechanically very difficult to pull off even when trying to - you either turn toward the mob you're trying to hit anyway (if the option to automatically face the target when performing an action is turned on) or can't use the ability, and once it's pressed even if you turn your character around the attack hits the area you were facing...in other words, the pack of mobs. The only way you'll face the "wrong" way is by targeting an enemy in the wrong spot and attacking them...which goes back to proper positioning, which they'll learn.
