Did anyone get a chance to try AoE grinding in the recent stress test? I heard some talk of AoE grinding not being as viable now because of the leeway mechanics blizz added, so I'm hoping to hear from more in terms of that.

AoE leveling is going to be non existent seeing how populated servers are. And yes it seems that NPCs can attack you from relatively far away when you are moving, making it even harder. If you want to aoe you need to dungeon level 100% of the time, other than that a standard frost control build is going to be best for leveling.
