Sweeping Strikes calculates armor damage reduction from the main target and uses those values on the additional target.
Lets say a pve geared mage with about 10% dmg reduction from armor and a tank paladin with about 65% dmg reduction from armor stand next to each other and a warrior attacks the mage, pops Sweepins Strikes and starts hitting the mage. They both will take roughly the same damage.
This might apply to other AoE melee attacks, such as Cleave, Whirlwind and Bladeflurry. I'll check those too.

EDIT: I tested this out with Swipe and Bladeflurry. This bug covers those too so I think it's safe to assume it also affects all other melee AoE attacks.

Thank you for the research I always noticed myself targeting lower armored characters when using sweeping strikes because of the lesser damage reduction in pve. I still never seem to use it in PvP.

Don't really get what you try to say. Did you described the current behaviour on SF or the intended?

The current state. Isn't it obvious that damage reductions should be calculated separately for each target?

Fixed.

Now takes armor from second target into account.
