There is no real benefit to tanking packs of mobs in sword oath outside of negating the shield oath penalty while still accessing oath gauge for sheltrons (which is also kind of useless in aoe). Sword Oath adds an additional hit to your auto attack, in AoE you're only auto attacking 1 enemy even if you are using AoE abilities.

In general, 3 enemies is the magic number where you want to use your Aoe instead of single target as it is more damage. Every class follows this rule.
