Android Studio and Emulator are different tools. You can use each other independent of one another.

Emulator is slow and most of the times unusable. See a post by Jake Wharton on emulators Android needs a simulator.

For the time being you can use Genymotion or use your own device to debug.

You can use Genymotion too.

It runs using Virtual Box. Should be fast enough.

For the speed, it is kind've dependent on your system specs, but give this a try http://jolicode.com/blog/speed-up-your-android-emulator

As for rotation, try these:

Mac: ctrl + fn + f12

Windows: left ctrl + f12

Linux: ctrl + f12
