You are confusing proc with area of effect, a single proc of a Cursed can curse almost full screen (as it uses a very high level of Amplify Damage)
So, the fact that many monsters were cursed is not a confirmation that there were many procs (as a single proc may cursed everybody)
What would confirm that the pulse can proc per monster would be the frequency, as with with 5% chance per monster, 14 monster would be enough to give you 50% change of proc (1-.95^14 ~ 51%) and 27 monsters would give you the old 75% (1-.95^27 ~ 75%)
So in dense areas like cows you would proc constantly if pulse can proc per monster instead of only once per pulse.
Well I have tried and tested it extensively myself, both on PTR and with the currently released patch. Holy Freeze checks for each mob separately, I am 100% sure of that. When the check succeeds it curses a large area, so it never just curses 1 or 2 mobs.
Is this a new bind or one you had pre-patch? If new bind, did you get it from a Cursed Terror zone? I've had problems with binds coming from Cursed Terror zones saying they were Cursed but never ever procing Amp Damage (all pre-patch). Could be one of those glitched binds?

(Well, I will test later anyway)

That's bad news. I was getting some decent procs last night from Cursed/Freeze Urdar. Perhaps freeze is the aura to get now. Was hoping to try a Concentration/Fanaticism (Act 1 merc w/ Faith) or Fanaticism/Might/Concentration (Act 2 w/ Pride) for suoer high damage bonus, but maybe better Amp procs are more important.
Keep in mind that vile mothers can spend a lot of their time not actually attacking anything so...not surprising that you're not seeing any procs with that one.
I think you are confusing Vile Mother with another monster...
my Vile Mother attacks all the time, and it is actually my primary source of damage.
Merc uses Pride.
My other summons are two Summon Defiler
And I use no attack skill, just cast buffs/debuffs (Death Mark, Engorge, Sigil Lethargy - that do not increase damage anymore )
The "child minions" seems to never dies, so after she spawn 5, she never stop again to re-spawn them.

The new shard drop rate is ridiculous. I played the new patch for about 1 hour and I got seven shards! Insane.
You should all sell all your shards as long as there are still people buying shards. In a short time, the market will be flooded with tons of shards and they will hardly have value anymore.

Interesting.
Where'd you get yours? And with what affixes exactly?
When I experimented with those, the little ones kept dying so the mother was busy constantly re-summoning, rather than attacking anything. Plus she's big enough to get tele-locked which further limits her actual activity though I guess that part might not affect you much if you don't do much/any dmg yourself, rather than just supporting her and hence de-locking immediately anyways.
Bounded a regular Vile Mother on a L96 Cursed TZ River of Flame (had Bind Demon 20+ so she ended up Cursed, Spectral Hit, Extra Fast, Extra Strong and Aura Enchanted - Fanaticism)
I play mostly P1 (this may be an important info), but never noticed a "child minion" dying (even against D Clone)

So, as just another point of evidence I can basically echo the previous posts - terrorized Act I to try, got 4 shards (even the elusive northern), 8 heralds, loot throughout the entire run, including and especially the Herald drops, was absolute garbage. As if I were in Act I NM instead of a TZ 96.
If they can't get the loot balance for heralds right, then they should go all the way and make the rewards cosmetic entirely, like a Herald bounty hunting chronicle. Then make them actually fearsome enemies and you have a meaningful task for endgame characters that doesn't require endless grinding for keys and statues just to experience a handful of ultra-tough battles that are weighed in favor of certain character classes. Currently we just have uniques with attitude.
I like the shard frequency, though. It makes them more of an option instead of a gating mechanism, where you don't feel bad just because you don't exploit a shard for its fullest effect; this way you can roam a couple of your favorite spots in leisurely pace instead of the current rotating Frenzy. My bet is on Eastern Worldstone Shard being by far the most desirable for this effect, just so you can terrorize Tombs again and again and again
On a side note, the Megademons from the Pit of Acheron will now give you a Lvl 15 Salvation aura upon being consumed.

I run T95 A1 just to test the new patch. Have to agree that heralds drop nothing but headache. The random bonuses they get catches you out. Also got more shards than gems. Soon enough we will use them just to run bosses.

At that point, we're getting uncomfortably close to "free2pay" territory. No, we won't give you meaningful rewards, but we allow you to spin the wheels just a couple more times. Isn't that great?

24 hours of new update. And i had to work and look after kids too today.

If the demons don't have an aura when they get bound, they roll a random selectable aura.
True, and the aura this one had until the 3.2 patch was Conviction, which got turned to Fanaticism with the patch.
Now, my Warlock gained the temporary Lvl 15 Salvation aura on himself because he used Consume on the demon. I could afford to test this, even though it was a Pit Lord from the Pit of Acheron because I wanted to respec anyway. The screenshot below shows the demon before consumption.
