Relative effectiveness could be down to user skill. Now im not trying to insult anyone but someone who doesnt just mash bash and tries to time it may have more *luck* interrupting.
Same as a stun class specifically trying to interupt a casting npc waiting for cast animation/particle effects before casting fast stun.
Again not trying to derail/insult anyone. But it could explain contradictory experiences.
Additionally interupting a CH is more important than interupting an npc self buffing or casting dispel on tank.

Good point, 100% there is little to no effectiveness to just hitting slam on cooldown. Have it available in your abilities tooltip, watch for your target mob begins casting a spell message, immediately click slam, if no interrupt prepare to click it again immediately on cooldown if time before casting is complete (should be able to get off 2 slam attempts per CH cast).
More advanced would be understanding the spell effects so you know which spell the mob is casting and save slams for only spells that must be interrupted i.e. CH. One thing I run into sometimes is the slam works, interrupts the spell, but then the mob casts another spell before slam cooldown wears off. So sometimes an effective slam could be a negative if you interrupt a non-detrimental spell and the mob is able to get off a detrimental one in its place.
I would venture to say that, as someone who exclusively uses slam while mobs are casting, that each slam click in my experience has had a roughly 50-75% success rate of interrupting (so when used properly getting 2 attempts of slam against a CHing mob its extremely rare that you don't interrupt the CH).
