Typhoon seriously?

Typhoon
:
Summons a violent Typhoon that strikes targets in front of the caster within 30 yards, knocking them back and dazing them for 6 sec. Useable in all shapeshift forms.
I have used it in PvP against different types of enemyes but it has a 40% chance to work. Used it on 10 yard range: 80% chance to work. On 20 yard enemy --> 25% chance to work. 25 yard--> doesnt work
Seriously Blizzard?

I've found the hitbox for Typhoon to be a little strange at times because of its display, if anything. I'm unsure whether it's a cone or a line, but it requires some precise work to get it to hit targets that are farther away. Testing it out and it seems to work fine but there are a couple possibilities for your stated anomalies.
For instance, Blizzard implemented diminishing returns on knockback effects so that after a few knockbacks, players become immune to them for a short time much like crowd control. That coupled with your first statistic means you probably tried to knock back players who are immune due to diminishing returns.
Also do you strafe? If so, the Typhoon will fire on the direction of the strafe as opposed to forward.

Numbers pulled out of thin air right there. I must admit that typhoon isn't always as responsive as it should be, but it is not a problem if you position yourself correctly. All it takes is a little stop during movement or a 180 turn.

One thing that may still be true is that the knockback "trigger" zone is very low and can interact with terrain. I read, once, that you should always try to jump and be in mid-air while casting it.

It may be true.

I wish the spell effect for Typhoon was a bit more visually clear. It just looks like some lines in the air to denote it being manipulated even at higher particle effects (especially in brighter areas since the spell effect has a lot of white coloration in it). What happened to the wave effect?

Boomkins as a whole are just frustrating.
