    AoE appears to only be able to hit a limited number of targets at a time as it is anyway. Testing in a low level dungeon, Circle of Scorn appears to only hit the first 15 or 16 targets. In theory a tank shouldn't be able to hold aggro on more targets than that. I don't really have definitive proof, but...

    I remember a version of this topic in XI called Summoner burns. Someone would go pull the entire zone than summoners would astral flow(something like AoE Lb3) all the enemies, and gain x levels really fast. I think in Dzemael just recently tank pulled 1st portion of zone and we killed 25+adds, granted no big burst spells at that level.

    Things of that nature omit any mechanics any monster had to begin with when a tank can hold aggro and not die to multitudes of enemies.
