At a high level the single target fire does more single target damage then the charged does, and this is part of why you need to be facing your target to fire. When you charge the molten gun it will always do the AoE effect, but the damage dealt to each mob is going to be less, however with enough enemies the total damage may be more. It depends on your situation if you need focus fired attacks or an AoE spread to supplement your chosen skills as necessary. Any instances where the AoE has no visual is only a visual bug.
Having said that I did tighten up the damage window a bit (that sems a bit inconsistent), and you will see that next update.
