I can't spell this out any more for you.
What you are saying here is a mob attacking you while you are on the ground is a succrssful FD. Nonsense obviously.

Necromancers and SK's have a cast time on their FD. The mob can start casting a spell right as your FD finished. They don't have instant FD like a Monk. AoE spells can hit you too if someone else gets agro.

Even with autoattack off, a poorly timed riposted will do the same thing and cause your FD to fail, as Danth said.

Also, you don't seem to understand multiple FD's as a strategy. SK's get multiple FD's and a clickie FD. You can FD while a spell is being cast to prevent a few combat rounds worth of damage, and then FD again when no spells are being cast. This also opens up the possibility of caster mobs casting a buff spell since they are deagroed, which means they can't cast an offensive spell when you stand up. This is nice when you have multiple casters pulled.
