Blizz slid in a couple of buffs to BM AoE on the latest Patch 4.3 PTR Build. Chimaeras and Worms have had both of their AoE abilities buffed with about 20% increased damage, with a slightly larger area of effect.

- Froststorm Breath (Chimaera) now deals [205 + 11.52% of Ranged AP] Froststorm damage, up from [170 + 9.6% of RAP]. Now affects all enemies within 12 yards, up from 7 yards.
- Burrow Attack (Worm) now deals [1640 + 92.16% of Ranged AP] Nature damage, up from [1432 + 76.8% of RAP].
Yeah, I tend to just combine BW/Fervor with Multi-shot when I need to AoE. Although I have both a worm and a chimaera in the stable.
Worms are underrated! Rattlebore ftw.
too bad i dont use either of those abilities, they just dont really help.
the burrow attack drops threat, and i dont use the chimera
