Well, first off, I'm pretty sure mobs don't crit. At least, I've never seen a mob actually crit in all my experiences of soloing or being tank in duos/trios. What sometimes looks like crits are when mobs (like King Colls or Goblin Captains) have power hits. What seperates a power hit from a crit to me is that power hits are more consistant - they'll always start off with the power hit, and they'll always use it again in a pretty consistant time frame. Also, in the case of Colls, they have a pretty obvious animation showing that it's different from their normal attack. However, not every mob's power attack has this.

Anyway, in my experience of tanking such mobs, it happens a lot that the power hit and normal hit will come so close together, the power hit doesn't display. It's kinda of combination of lag and a graphics glitch. So yeah, I'll pretty often have a King Coll do 500 damage to me on their first hit, also I only see the number 200. I'd wager the same happened to you.
