Yes, they can crowd toward your flanks, but your cone need only intersect any part of their hit-rings, which are far larger than the mob's models themselves. So long as you don't aim the cone off to the side, you'd still hit all of them while staying in place, just as you would with a circle.

The only difference is that the cone offers 60% more reach, which is pretty damn handy during the gather itself.
This is why I regarded the overpower change as a nerf and not really just a different way of doing things. I so dislike that Xeno video...
