OK, targeting each champion in the targeting cone seems a little ridiculous. I can't be completely sure, of course, especially as AP champs aren't my specialty.

Nautilus' ult chases because it targets one specific champion and does things along the way. Unless enemy champions can body-block your pulses (like with Caitlyn's ult), I don't see why you aren't just damaging everything in range on cast based on their distance from Xerath. Making it a series of chasing projectiles just seems strange and pointlessly complicated.
