As far as I can tell, those results are well within what could be expected. They are on the unpleasant end of the scale but they are nowhere near being fabulously unlucky (if, for instance, we assume the 3% droprate is closer to the truth, one warglaive in 32/33 kills is exactly what would be expected on average)
Each glaive has a chance of dropping in that slot each week, so the expected rate is more like one glaive per 10-11 kills.
