I love the idea, less buttons to keep track of.

If anything it'd be more to keep track of.
In the monotony of pressing the same button over and over again you may blink and not see what you did last, and you'd have to check and refresh yourself on where you are in the combo.
Whereas if they are separate, you'll have actual tactile response to your current actions and abilities. You can feel your rotation rather than just executing it.
