I used this briefly and from what I could tell, only 1 arrow would come back and hit the original target again, The other 2 arrows Shot off screen and it was hard to decipher what happened to them. Also I am uncertain if the arrow capable of tracking is also capable of multiple pierces. It happens so fast you might need to FRAPS it to get definite confirmation of the mechanics.
Though my guess is that the one arrow acts just like hungering arrow and the other 2 arrows just go off straight trajectory w/o pierce. The would in turn probably make this rune a poor choice.
EDIT: Of course it won't split more than once, that is clearly written in the description.

If Cinder continues to pierce (which it should because Blizzard has stated you should never want the unruned),
Not a Sound Assumption. The reason you don't want this unruned is because there are runes that make it operate better with the same principals. This could remove the seeking portion and add the fire damage and other runes would be taken if you want it to operate identically but better (Puncturing arrow comes to mind)
If you remove the pierce & seek from this ability, then it would operate worse than the unruned version, far worse.
% wpn dmg: 150 < 177
The DoT likely doesn't stack, which is why there is a minimum and maximum dmg range for that ability.
@Chippydip Yah I see Shatter maintaining the homing ability, but not pierce. Of course, it could definitely go another way too.

Actually now that I look at it, they recently just nerfed puncturing arrow from 55% to 50% didnt they? That means they nerfed the dmg from 255% to the 230%.
Now, if shatter arrow doesn't allow piercing its at 230% range with the other 3. Then that would only leave devouring as an outlier. However, seeing as it drastically increases in dmg per pierce it has a high chance to overkill, thus lowering the overall effective dmg.
Therefore, I think its safe to assume that shatter arrow's won't be allowed to pierce. However, if that is not the case then shatter becomes the only choice, as it will be the best in pretty much any situation.

You have each each consecutive pierce spawns another arrow that hits for 70% dmg.

One arrow maintains the hungering arrow function, and the other 2 just kind of fly off and might hit something.
