I would prefer your solution suggestion b) reduce effectiveness, as I think 8 targets is fine. I've started playing mages recently and there are some OH SHIT situation in PT or during LQ where meleeing people had saved me with their AoE WS. Considering how aggressive monsters or group monsters are usually cluttered together in a room (esp. in dungeon or caves) so we're likely to pull and get a lot of links, limiting AoE target to 3 would be a bit too cruel.
