If they only thing they're casting is one AoE, then you should still be able to get drops. The "sharing" feature of the game that allows you to get credit for kills that others have claimed also appears to work for drops as well as exp and quest/log kills. However, you need to do a minimum threshold of damage if you don't get the claim, and this is where you can be kept from getting the drops you need.

But if the person claiming is only releasing a single AoE attack, then I would expect you would still be able to hit the required damage threshold (though they are, in effect, leeching off of your hard work since you're doing the vast majority of the damage).
