What's up with the cone aoes hate?

[Eelanos]

When I played warrior I used to pull with the 2nd part of the AOE combo exclusively because it was faster and easier to do than going for the cone.

Cones would be better if they didn't require targeting and attacked whatever was in front of your character if nothing was targeted, mostly because in some maps if you see two rows of enemies, the targeting system sometimes would take the enemies farthest away first and sometimes even loop between them a few times before it would consider that the enemies that are killing my party right next to me are a bigger priority, which more often than not requires me messing with camera angles and looking at the floor to target properly.

As a DPS, cones don't bother me nearly as much, but they are inconvenient when you want to keep your gcd rolling and the targeting system decides the enemies the furthest at the corner take priority, making you either miss one or two enemies or stop your gcd to target properly. This happens way less often than when I pull as a tank, but when it does happen it's very annoying.
