Swipe hits all targets in front of you?

[Bryan1218]

Ok I have a fair amount of tanking experience was 68 @ wotlk launch but have tanked 10man naxx all the through and some 25man content.... I have never noticed swipe hitting everyone in front of me, only 3 is what I thought it was, so I always subscribed to the tab>swipe>tab>swipe technique until a descent amount of threat was established with all mobs...

The question is, people keep telling me swipe will hit everything as long as it is in front of you, have I really been missing that this whole time? Lot of numbers flying around so I guess its possible, but really? Does swipe hit ALL targets in front of you?

Swipe will in fact hit everything in an oblong 270 degree cone infront of you.

Yes, swipe now hits everyone in front of you, this change was implemented in 3.0
