If you happen to stun a monster you gotta wait for it to unstun and follow you.
But, I guess it's good for pvp/pk.

Actually stonehand is pretty useful for AoE. If you have stonehand up when you Burst Crack, you can stun the mobs all around you. Its good for reducing damage you take, which allows you to take higher level mobs, which means more exp. I AoE with only 20 base STA so I heavily rely on Stone Hand's stun to live.
As far as points, when you AoE you don't need a lot of the 1 vs 1 buffs. I would max these based on priority:
Burst Crack (Primary AoE skill, more damage is better)
Heap up (40 STA allows you to live)
[then optionally . . .]
Stone Hand (to lvl 19) (stuns allow you to AoE more)
Quickstep (if you want to gather faster)
Beef Up (more damage is good)
You'll need haste and accuracy for 1 vs 1, but its not that helpful for AoE. You decide when you want to stop AoE and how you should spec. I would suggest you use PikiMario's Skill calculator to figure out your points.
