That same outcome often occurs with the Templar ability Focused Charge, and with the corresponding One Hand & Shield ability and its morph, Invasion.As a 2H werewolf DK, i regularly use either Critical Charge or Pounce as my initial attack on mobs. Most of the time, these abilities put me behind my target, rather than in front of them, requiring me to turn around 180 degrees before i can fight them. This makes me not want to use these two abilities or even play this character.
This usually happens because the mob moves towards you after you fire the skill. Probably because the mob senses the skill like anything else magical and aggros. Since your target is really a point on the ground, not the mob, you end up on top or behind the mob.
One thing you can do is animation cancel the charge. As you approach the target, give a backwards (I use the S key on the keyboard) and that is where you will stop. You still deal out the damage or stun or whatever. It takes a bit of practice to time it right but you can place your self in front of the mob and continue your attack.
