In the past I have used FLurryShot 2 to engae mobs in the Warren to dispatch the large numbers or Hurtons quickly (the area effect) - Pre 13.0 publish
However last night I was hunting on Endor, and was engaging creatures outside their nest using /flurryshot2 and while all the creatures in the cone of fire would aggro, only the creature targeted was taking damage. I tried this on a variety of different creature spawns and noticed the same thing. The AOE effect was not in effect, the other mobs were not getting hit with the state changes (like dizzy) and were not taking damage.
I checked my combat logs and I wasnt missing shots, and I was firing from optimal range w/ a T21.
I have not yet tried this vs NPCs yet to see if it behaves differently.
Anyone else seen this? (I need to recheck but /flushingshot2 seemd to be acting the same way)

Oh NM, I just saw this listed as an old bug, guess I have been lucky enough not to see it until now.
But it seems now it doesnt work period for me. I cant damage anything with the AOE shots.

yeah sorry - it is a bug that has been driving some of us batty for months on end. T_T sorry that you got hit with it.
best thing to do when it happens is (and this is on the first page of the newb faq)
If you get trapped by an AOE that no longer does damage to the
lair you are attacking and everything else you
must break out of the loop. there are a few ways to escape the
dreaded AOE bug. The most effective way is:
1) get outta the range of the lair !!!!! (off radar if you can even!)
2) kill the targets aggro'd on you (or Break aggro) (click on nothing to
see what you are currently fighting)
3) go through a peace sequence (*make sure to get all the way to peace*)
4) get within range of the lair and shoot again (*if at this point it does not work - relog*)
