You didn't yet have an enmity stance at that level, only Sword Oath (with Shield Oath being given at 40), and your group tended to play around its bonus potency by focus targeting enemies in sequence, often with CC (after DoTs, if any of them had initial damage, as those without direct/initial damage wouldn't break CC) in order to free up healer globals for damage.
Reprisal's effect used to be on Rage of Halone (as a physical down) and of course it wasn't aoe, Flash is effectively just replaced with Total Eclipse now except it actually does damage. I remember how guides said to target enemies in order but in my experience BLM aoe made that not a good strategy for the tank.
