When AOEing with multishot+beastcleave do you guys use Focus Fire or leave the pet with Frenzy stacks?

Always use FF when its on 5 stacks. UNLESS you have bestial wrath active. Before or after is fine, but its a dps loss to use a gcd with it active.

On the flip side, the focus restoration component grants your pet an extra basic attack (Bite/Smack/Claw) which is spread by Beast Cleave, and the ranged haste you receive then subsequently boots your pet's focus regeneration as well. So you're trading autoattacks for more Bite/Smack/Claw damage. Should be a dps gain for AoE just like it is with single target.
yeah it is a DPS increase to use FF but not whilst BW is active as stated.
its because your pet gain focus when you cast FF, so the basic attack is losing vs hitting more for more with specials is a dps gain.
as someone said, as long as you are no under BW hit it as soon as you see 5 stacks. well take into account that this is with PPM trinkets and set, meta.
