I'm on goesid with this, I've had many items drop with ilvl higher than the mob itself.
Like TSS, which is a specific drop from Chatter. Which btw is killable for both horde and alliance.There are some exceptions to this, like an item that may be mob specific or something.
Asked a gm about this last week, and he said it still drops, but with a very (very very very) low drop rate off one mob.

That rare is a very weird mob, instantly respawns, drops the weird fist weapon... it's as weird as stockades boss drops dropping from randoms in deadmines. The rare that dropped TSS however is a non-bugged normal world rare just like the other hundreds of mobs who don't drop items that they used as a result of the npc's level being nerfed.
