LOS Healing <For Instant Spells/Actions>

[Matrioshki]

[EDIT: For those who don't like this the fix is in the post below, Thanks Goom]

I'm an experienced healer, having played through all of FFXI and WoW, and all Hard Modes between. (Just so credibility isn't an issue, haha)

I'm enjoying healing and the increasing difficulty and pressure on the mana pools we have. We need to be efficient and use the right actions at the right time to go the distance. The only thing I'm not enjoying is the requirement to be facing the target when activating an instant action. Namely Regen.

Example:

-Boss targets me with a directional attack or AoE
-As I'm running out of the AoE/Attack I cast Regen
-Target is on the other side of the field
-I am now faced a different direction than I was running and now run right back into the effect

The only way I have found to avoid this is to hold down my mouse which doesn't prevent me from turning, but will put me on the same path afterwards. One thing that I enjoyed from WoW is I could be running anywhere and in any direction and cast an instant spell, without having to face the target. It allows me to focus on the raid mechanic vs where my char is looking.

I'm hoping to hear a similar frustration from other healers, and ask if this is a change we may see coming? or if this has been brought up before?
