You aren't going to injure anyone push on their face. If you aren't going to train it properly, why train it at all? You are just suddenly going to do the move correctly in competition without ever having drilled it?
However, It's not necessarily better to post on the face in the spinning armbar transition. Posting behind the head stops your opponent from shrimping and makes it easier to step over. The position I choose depends on how well I'm controlling their hips before.

@slayer506 Maybe in comp it would be ok to put the hand on the face but why would you do that to people you train with when its not neccessary. Second, the guys teaching the tech. not drilling it so of course hes not going to go full speed but you already know that because you oviusly know everything.

Thats true. Cross facing, posting on face etc always works well. Only problem in some BJJ lower level tournements I've been in they don't let you touch the front of the face.

posting on his face? lol thats some thug jujutsu right there ;p
we at our gym look down upon causing unnecessary pressure like that, especially during rolling sessions. it works, yes, but is it necessary while rolling with your friends? no
that requires such a fast switch... awesome

Post on his face rather than on the mat. This will give you better control. Posting on the mat takes pressure off the person on the bottom giving him a better chance of escaping. Posting on his face will cause him to have a natural reaction to push you away from him, thus making the armbar a lot easier. It will also cause his spine to become slightly unaligned causing him to turn further on his side giving you more space. This entire drill should be a lot faster and more fluid.
