While sprinting you can use the attack "behind" to get a small dash, this is useful when your close to a survivor but can't quite reach them to damage them

If your trying to use gashing wound on a player, wait for them to run out of stamina, that way you can't miss them

Raging pace also pinpoints the closest surviver to you, but at a cost of your speed, if you use this wisely you can be sure to kill your next victim
