Good video, gets the point across. However I wonder how much it matters in a game such as Diablo, being a hack 'n slash game. If 10 skeletons come at you, you don't care which 5 you blow up. Within one second they are all gone anyway. I can see you might want to kill a caster first from a distance in a group, then AoE skills matter a bit more, but for the most part we'll be spamming stuff anyway. Perhaps in PvP it makes things easier, but both parties have this.
I think you are forgetting a bunch of stuff solely based in the PvE spectrum:
1: Being able to effectively target Summoner Units, Champions, or even Bosses.
2: Dying because of one missed move in Inferno, or even Hardcore Modes.
3: Having a flawed system of attack for All AoE based skills and an inaccurate skill shot system for a skill shot based game.
as much as i think it might be annoying when using AoE attacks, it wont hurt your killing effectiveness.
people played the beta and were able to target single mobs, hordes of mobs, bosses that spawn minions...
people played PvP at blizzcon and no one had any problems with targeting.
BTW i am not saying there is no problem with targeting, i am just saying it is minor.
i just want to say that your 2nd video you target a skelly on left side and throw grenades at it. you say it targeted the center skelly thats why so many died. if you pause the video when the center grenade goes to your target you will see that it actually went to the skelly on left that was targeted. and the reason you killed so many is grenades is an aoe. this game is not an esport where you must be 100% acurate. some mobs and characters will be moving fast and for a hack and slash game it doesnt fit to be so percise.
