When I cast fire ball with only two at melee, I don't get the explosive messaging for the volley of shards. Also when I've got 3 on me I only see 1 volley; are the shards going to both of the other ones or should they both get a 'volley of feiry shards' message

Since you're not feeding enough power into the spell pattern to make it coherent, you quickly work your way to the minimum required.
You trace a careful sigil in the air, shaping the pattern of the Fire Ball spell.

The volley only hits auxillary things not affected by the fireball itself's passing.

if it dodn't woosh past and stun it, it would've done the volley of fire shards.

Usually it comes down to range.
