Since the latter is 1 move, gets you 30s on that buff and 20 beast gauge, I'm guessing that is the only corner case where you'd hit an AOE move for a single target.
Personally I would still go for my single target combo because most likely my Surging Tempest buff will still be up, but also I might go for Storm's Path for the extra beast gauge and damage (Storm's Eye extends the buff, not Storm's Path), and my opener would be less awkward.
