From what clues the devs gave us, the proc takes into account the maximum number of targets the cone or AoE can hit. Cones generally have a smaller max target than AoEs.

I want to use my freespec on one of my blasters before we get the new one tomorrow, so I need to decide whether to put the Blaster's Wrath set into a cone attack or into a TAoE attack. (I can't put it into a single-target attack because those slots are needed for other set bonuses.) (Two days ago I posted this question in an older thread in which the PPM procs were discussed, but received no responses at all. I assume that my message wasn't read because people assumed it was just an answer to that thread. I apologize for the double posting.) Thank you for your thoughts on this, 10joy |

I'd wait months until the updated version of PPM procs comes to pass (as hinted by Zwillinger on Ustream) and the formulas are made know and tested to actually be working as advertised.
Chasing PPM procs now is just an exercise in having one's heart broken months from now.
