Yeah the cash drops will be a little skewed in raid type dungeons. It's a minor issue since I doubt many actually pay attention to the cash drops in dungeons. Seems to be more quest and item oriented,

What I meant, was the way 99% of the groups I've been in do loot as current are:

Green loot and above gets rolled on - Mundane white loot gets auto passed out as well as cash. So the big thin here. Whenever there is something on a corpse to loot it's going to be either be green or above. None of the grey loot will appear, and the % for the items will seems MUCH higher than they really are since only corpses with Green or above loot are going to have any data at all.

Corpses with incomplete data or that are flagged for the game as containing items (swirl indicator) are ignored if you try to loot them since it knows that what you see isn't the truth and it can't tell what the actual truth is. There is a skew there but I don't think it's particularly large except for maybe very specific mobs. The problem is that the server just tells the client "Here's your item you won when rolling", not "Here's your item from the zombie someone just looted that you just won.".

Yeah, I just hope the data parser gets a little more integelligent in it's data collection. I've had massive amounts of kills on almost every single named mob in the Marsh of Peril (VT and Thela dungeons) and have yet to see any of the data make it in despite me looking at corpses. Warlord Sethrak I know for one I have 4/4 kills dropping an item that isn't in his loot table and I made sure to look everytime.

Could you elaborate a bit? I've tested it fairly extensively although not on named mobs at all. It's possible the server spawns it with the same ID so that our server rejects the data since it thinks the loot information is for the same corpse. Right now data collection is down since last patch since I need to review the updates they did.

What item is it more specifically that he dropped?

Any ETA on when data collection will start again?

Well they snuck in another patch, so I'll have it up when I get home today.
