I would say yes.

The "Two Weapons" talent, which I would again argue allows two 
different targets for the two weapons (including one engaged, one 
thrown if the second weapon is throwable).

As Rick said, any spell (multi-hex fire, etc.) which is "area effect".

Dragons, octopi, etc.

I could not find the +2 DX listed. Where is that? It makes "drop 
weapon" a lot nicer spell...

Could I do this twice, to scoop up two things? Either using the -3 MA 
or using DX rolls each time?

This sounds like a *huge* improvement from the point of view of an 
armored fighter faced with a high-DX pole weapon user. Good rule, 
IMHO.

-----

Regarding "Two Weapons", an abusive player (like me) might want to 
have a character with "Two Weapons" and "Thrown weapons" move, use 6 
DX to scoop up and ready two axes, and then throw both axes on the 
turn they were readied. This would be highly cinematic if it worked 
:-) and I can't see that it's strictly illegal, but I'm curious how 
the assembled wisdom here would rule...it does imply about 6 "normal" 
actions in one turn (pick up, ready, pick up, ready, throw, throw).
