Exact same for me. Does not work in the world
I'm having a similar problem with Frozen Orb. Sometimes it just passes through mobs and doesn't stop, which means I miss out on the damage and procs. A+ patch Blizz.
Basically the 8 yard aoe component is currently broken, you can hit with the cone from the ashbringer talent, so anything within 8-20 yards in a frontal cone can be hit.
Really annoying, but they've said that fixing it is the top priority right now. Not very convenient to have our AE spell not work in the open world with all of that juicy AP out there...
Yeah, seriously. It doesn't work anywhere except nighthold that I've tested. I'm practically useless on dungeon trash.
Its very bad. Benched myself today as playing without DS is ridiculous. Mob farming (AoE-Style) wasnt possible, so it was a little more tedious, and for raids, forget it. It seems as our Artefact Trait that pull our DS 20m away is bugged. It does the initial AoE at 20m in front of you, instead of on you, and the damage "corridor" is gone. I raided yesterday without the new traits (didnt have time to complete the quest), it was ok. Shortly after the raid I completed it, go my new traits, spent my points, went farming, it was ok. I just reconnect today, doesnt work. Apparently Blizzard is aware since 23h00 last night (Wed), didnt got solved yet.
And Elisandre rings are still bugged. It was instant killed raid members just at her initial cast, without anyone in range of the ring. The amount of bug 7.2 brought is just unacceptable.
I'll grind a little more and try a Traits reset and see if it fixes it.

Song that's currently stuck in my head: pretty much anything from Dance With the Dead
Still not solved, didnt try dungeon or raids, open world as described: in "melee" range (8y) nothing happens, the range part works.
after unlocking new traits and learning 3 , seems the bug is gone for me.
Great patch.
Even after they deployed a "hotfix" on EU, it's still broken. This is really, really starting to piss me off.
No, it does NOT work in NH either, you probably just think so as there are so many mobs everywhere on Scorp, Auriel and such that you do hit "something" but no, you don't get the full effect from it in melee and such.
I know as I tested it on Chronomatic, we popped the big add and I was next to the 4 small, did a DS and it hit for nothing as all 4 were "too close" to me.
Tested later on Auriel and in the arcane phase, I went to one add standing a bit aside from the others, DS'd him and I saw my DS doing some damage but the add in front of me was still 100% life (i.e. it didnt hit in melee but hit adds far behind my mob).
So no.. it doesnt work anywhere, not open world, not dungeons and def not in NH!
Tested it yesterday in NH normal, did 700+ k dps on Botansit by just merrily AoEing the Boss and his stunt doubles.
So there appears to be no common ground with this bug.
But as I've said earlier, I had expierienced this bug aswell, but after unlocking and learning some of new traits, I had it fixed for me somehow.
Hope that works for us all then, I still haven't unlocked the new golden so will keep my hopes up for that! Tho, Blizzy should really fix this anyway, it's not that high percent of the whole retri userbase that will reach all the new talents within a reasonable timeframe!
