AoE was tuned down because they didn't want everything to be solved with an AoE spam fest like it was back in Wrath. Maybe they are tunning it back up because they realized two things:

1. There are several situations in both heroics and raids that require AoE and some classes are way ahead of others, to the point some specs are not viable only because of their poor AoE.

2. As people out-gear content, they WILL solve everything with an AoE spam fest, regardless what. It happened at Blood Wing in ICC and it happened now with Cataclysm. Currently, the only heroic I use CCs is Halls of Origination. In every other heroics, including Grim Batol and Deadmines, I just pull everything at once and AoE them down, doing micro-management of my cooldowns, stuns and interrupts to stay alive (I am the tank). I do the same thing in most of Bastion of Twilight too.
