I think it's the difference between being melee and being a caster - all my melee characters do the auto target thing, my casters don't. Hybrids like a pally, probably mainly go with the melee option, especially if you're ret/prot, although, quite possibly some ranged spells won't. I think it's much like whether you start swinging your weapons on casting the spell or not; on my deathknight, my strikes all start my autoattack (including Icy Touch, which is ranged), but Death Coil doesn't, I guess that's classed as a spell then!
