The spinning around the targets is actually a decent boost for you.

At least some of your toons are behind the target at all times.
Which means they're not subject to dodge, parry or block.

But for PvE play, you have the choice of spamming or just pressing when you need to move.
For PvP, you'll pretty much have to spam always.

As things are about to die, that's when the occasional run off can occur.
If possible, don't be spamming when something is about to be killed.
