Not quite. You make three attacks with this power, period. Since it has one, two, or three creatures, you can choose how to split those attacks up, in the possible combinations Black Knight Irios has mentioned. You can't fire three times at each target, just like Twin Strike doesn't let you fire twice at two seperate enemies - it lets you fire twice, and you can either split it between two targets or focus both attacks on one target.

As I said before, that's not clear by RAW. I would add it to the last attack and if that attack is a crit maximize the 2[w] otherwise not which means I wouldn't care if attack 1 or/and 2 critted or not.

I don't see how RAW is not clear on this. There are 3 different attacks (cfr. Twin Strike being two attacks), and the extra 2[W] damage counts as bonus damage for the third attack (as it only gets added if you hit the same target three times).
This means that, by RAW, critting on the first two attacks is just business as usual (you maximize the weapon die, and add any other effects on a crit), while critting on the last one allows you to maximize the bonus 2[W] as well, assuming you hit all three times.

A bit of necromancy, but it's still in my tabset, and still within the month...
Given how Quarry bonus damage works, I'd argue that you don't have to apply the +2W damage to the third attack (and that you -can- apply it to the first attack if the first attack crit and the other two attacks hit). It doesn't say you apply the bonus damage to the third attack -- so you can apply it to any of the attacks, after the attack rolls are made, just like you can look to see which of your attacks for Twin Strike hit before deciding which to apply your Quarry damage to.
