Much as I like the thought of fighting and disarming my opponent and getting a magical weapon automatically put into my inventory, I agree with your posts, this ain't going to happen.
Just because it looks like you might be a bit confused on this issue: When people say that magic weapons drop into inventory, they mean the
mobs inventory, not yours. It will cause the weapon to be moved from the mobs hands (ie: used to beat on you) to the mobs loot pool. It will not ever put it directly into your inventory. Only the pick pockets skill does that (rogue only), and it specifically does not work on equiped items, magic items, no-drop items, or lore items.
I have certainly seen disarm work against mobs. Just not very often. Honestly, since most mob damage is unrelated to the weapon they are wielding, it's really not that important as a way to reduce damage. It really does help a tiny bit with adding agro though. What I typically do is right after hitting taunt, I hit disarm as well. That way if the taunt succeeds, I get top agro, and disarm gives me a bit of extra on top of that. It's not really that big of a deal, but every tiny bit does help...
