The answer to your problem of camera facing is to turn on Center Camera Behind, in the control settings. This will (unless you hold the righ mouse button which I sometimes do, but releasing it will make the camera center behind) make the camera automatically follow your character from behind. I had this problem at L12 when I was using SS, but quickly solved it with this check box, in the game settings.
Personally I don't have a problem with being away from my group, I don't SS into things i can't handle for a few seconds, I rarely use Phantasmal blade because of what Zuul said, noone knows about and they immediately assist when you go in. I guess the best anyone can do is to tell the groups ahead of time, "hey i have this ability, this is what it does, let me do my thing." A return step won't make people not assist your first target (the one you just PB'ed) and break it unless you tell them what you are doing.
Personally I think Phantasmal Blade is the most useless ability ever, I've propably only used it twice ever since I got it. I tried to use it a 3rd time and I couldn't because the mob was against a wall.
I petition that we lower the duration to 5 seconds flat. This way it's used more, but not overpowered. The 15 second timer should be enough. This would also increase our mitagation which is less than either of hte other 2 tanks. Warrior has an extra 5% mitigation on their defensive stance and more defensive abilities and taunts, throw us a bone.
Another useless ability is Vengeance. It's a counter attack, and supposedly these are supposed to give us an edge in combat, but what's the deal with 3 seconds or 3 hits? Come on, do the dev's even fight in groups? 3 hits maybe lasts all of .5 seconds when other people besides yourself are hitting the mob. For a grouping game this ability sure lacks in group orientedness.
