I prefer single target damage myself.
The AI scatters too much these days for AoE to be reliable. That and the fact that once you're down to just one target left, your DPS drops right off.
The only AoE I do use is [skill=text]Belly Smash[/skill], and that's because even with only one target, blind is incredibly useful. That and it acts as a fast attack to activate the spike from Crushing Blow.

I think aoe attacks like Triple Chop are overrated.......Ok sure you just whacked multiple targets with an aoe attack but that doesn't mean the damage was massive.

Warriors were never meant for aoe damage. Their strength is delivering high constant damage on a single target. Besides that, the last time I was doin some random quests, the enemies weren't really bunched up - casters were positioned somewhat far from eachother and the melee's were scattered in our backlines.....aoe at that point would be useless.
