No, it is always better to AoE, until you have about 2-3 mobs left. Even if you have a mob that summons more, or does a bit more damage or one that gives a debuff, you are still better off AoEing everything. If there is a priority target and you have an AoE that does more to the first target, then you focus your AoE around that mob, it dies quickly and you still have the rest of the pack weaker. Pull stake less time, tanks take less damage, and so tanks and healers use less resources. Even if you have a mob that is incredibly beefy, you are better off AoEing the weaker mobs down, then focusing on the big one. That beefy one is only dangerous with everything else around it, once they are all dead, it becomes just like anything else, a non issue.
