    Having a target or not doesnt change its reliably (And if anything, Id imagine the opposite, running through mobs, hitting overpower, and a mob kept moving past u, or changed its position enough the cones direction gets altered, as mobs like to push eachother around)

    All SE has to do, is make it a ground targeting AoE in front of you, like Salted Earth, except you dont get the extra step to chose where you place it, just where you were lasting facing.
    This sounds MASSIVELY easier to use, than needing a target, and with the delay of when mobs are within range of overpower, and then the delay of it noticing it, mobs are already on top of you, despite having a longer reach than the other tank AoEs.

    To be "optimal" you'd ideally avoid unleash, but some scenarios require you to get aggro the moment adds spawn in savage. and depending on the fight, abyssal drain wont reach all adds, since its a smaller circle. Once all adds are rounded up, then abyssal is able to reach all adds.
    (Again, dependent on the fight)

    In some cases, there can be so many adds, that they push eachother away from you, so far, than unleash almost doesnt reach them all, and unleash "can" out DPS abyssal then, but ONLY then. (Its not in savage content yet, so this scenario has only really occurred in aquapolis/lost cannals)
