How much turning do you even have to do to stand behind a massive boss in PvE and stay there?
The fact that keyboard turning doesn't quite ruin your PvE DPS doesn't tell us much.

Pezz,
This is a "Dungeons and Raids" Forum so the conversation should/will revolve around PvE encounters. That being said... If you have to ask why it would matter in a Boss fight you just haven't seen many.
Mobility and Positioning are a key element to Many if not Most critical fights, especially in Raids. Don;t let your Random Heroics' experience blind you to the rest of the content out there.
I am, by necessity, a Keyboard Turner. I have a disadvantage sometimes but part of this game is to learn how to play your character. Movement included. My KT story would be to relate the triumph I felt surviving my 1st Heigan the Unclean encounter. It was a breakthrough.

I am a KT, and
I know how to play my class.
(Outside theory crafting and stuff)
^^ Is the key, THE KEY, almost, to doing great DPS.
The only thing Mouse-turners can do better is turn faster, that's it. I run around with the key board, hitting my 1-5 spells and use my mouse to select new targets and click my other spells.
I guess my KT story, although I don't think it matters at all. Was killing Ick in Heroic Pit of Saron as the only one left, 1 health, FD'd, and a DOT killed Ick. He dropped my bow I needed. :D
^^ I swear on my life and everything I own that it actually happened. Maybe not a Dot that killed him, but I killed him with 1 health and in FD as the sole survivor.

Being a tank, I use my mouse to angle my camara that gives me the best viewing position to pick up loose mobs (if any), watch for pats( if any), or just general keep an eye on things (as RL), since I am a gnome and can't see over the bosses. You cannot position a camara and mouse turn, it will always reset your camara. So I keyboard turn/move, done right I can move without reseting my camara. Also, a lot of my major tank abilities are 1-5 which are real close to A,S,W,D and allows me to perform my function while, moving, adjusting my camara, clicking or tabbing a target and clicking an auxillary ability.

My brother was on a L1 rogue, dueling a L5 Paladin at Northshire Abbey. Running around, circling, with the Paladin slowly... slowly... turning around, he never caught up, while my brother was jabbing, jabbing, jabbing...
Until my brother made the stupid n00bish mistake of over-circling and lapped the paladin, and promptly got pwned.
