I have to agree with Perrone on this - my experience has also been the opposite. I vent my wing by using the back dump, which is normally on the left side of the wing. I basically turn a little head down and roll to my right to do this. It requires very little change in my body position, and is very easy to do while finning.Jacket style allow you to release air from a more horizontal position. Wings require a bit more of a vertical position.
I've never had to go vertical to dump from a wing, though. It's true that with the older "horseshoe" style of wing, the air sometimes tended to get trapped on the right side. This required the diver to turn slightly head up (to get all the air up to the shoulders), and then roll to the right and then head down. It sounds kind of complicated, but it's something you just get used to over time. Of course with the newer "donut" style wings, this is less of an issue, since the air can travel around the back/bottom side.
Regarding jacket BCs - sometimes it's not easy to maneuver the air around to where the back dump is, and many jacket BCs have no back dump at all. This means the only way to get air out is via the shoulder, which almost always requires more of a head up position to be effective.
