They should just reduce the turn speed of all stabs immensely, except 1h, since the animation is so bad there. 2H, you can have your ridiculously long stab, you just can't turn much with it so that you can insta-stab to the face at point blank. Hoplites would experience the same issue there and would actually have to work on their spacing. Pikes and long spears would no longer hook shot your ear for full pierce damage with the shaft. Maybe even add unbalanced to hoplite stabs and true 2h stabs (pole arm animations maybe excluded.)
