I agree with you that you need to do what your assignor's require, unless you are not concerned about moving up (many umpires aren't).

When working 2-man I point to the side while looking forward. It does feel strange at first but I got used to it. I would hate to be giving the crowd my best strike mechanic and learn that I had missed a play because I took my eyes off the ball. Now get me in a 3 or 4-man game and I can "strike mechanic" with the best of them
