I think the whole assumption that things wouldnt be parried/blocked/dodged while casting come from the recent findings regarding the paladin tanking bug. (Acknowledged by Blizzard, promised a fix soon)
We know some mechanics don't apply to monsters the same way they apply to players. We have all sorts of restrictions (can't dodge from behind, can't block without shield being wielded), whereas I'm sure all of us still scratch our heads when a dual wielding mob blocks an attack... It blocked? With What? Still remember level 20 bears partially blocking my attacks as well. WTB: Druid Block, PST.
So don't take that assumption too much to heart regarding what the mob is doing. But sure, it would be best to conduct testing on monsters we are guaranteed a 100% clear test that doesn't involve things we don't completely understand.
