I'll try to be as concise as possible. Is the reason my back foot (lefty) does not have the heel towards the sky and toe towards the pitcher on completing the swing because I'm not getting enough rotation with my hips?

It may be, it may not be. Hard to tell without video.
Despite what some say on here, many lefties do not fully come up onto their toe during their swing. Jim Thome is a good example, and his 500+ HR's tell me that he he is getting his hips through.
If you had video, it would be easier to tell.

Yeah. It's a question of function not form. Not getting up on the toe doesn't necessarily mean you didn't get off your backside with good rotation.
