See linked youtube. Not the first time I've seen it. If you go up close, the shanks little fans are still animating too.
Sorry I should clarify, this appears to only happen when you create a firefly explosion near a shank, which kills it.
Shanks explode when they die regardless of how they are killed.
Edit: I know shanks don't have critical spots. I'm talking about indirect damage from firefly explosions on other mobs.

They never have, as far as I know.
