If I have a trench that is about 8-9 blocks long so that it ends, then have a waterfall thingy at the end, mobs would swin up the waterfall, but then have a glass ceiling and it would drown the mobs. I could then add a collection pit at the base. Would this work?

That looks so difficult... I might try and remake that. Here is short of what im talking about.
is source block!

Of course, this is shorter than it should be, but since I cannot visuallise the whole thing, this is basically it.

Well the one from that video has a regular 2 wide channel for carrying the mobs in. This connects to a 3x3 space below it with a source block at the closer corner. The top of this 3x3 is several source blocks of water with a ceiling right over them and then signs holding the water back everywhere except for that one column.
The column's source blocks and such don't push mobs out thanks to a half block at the base of it. This looks a little strange visually because the water at the bottom of the 3x3 looks like it joins up with it but really only touches along the edges- there's air that keeps the water actually apart (half block.) Below the half block there is a collection pit for items to fall into. When you walk into the corner to collect items you are at the right height to collect things both from the pit and anything that happens to have fallen on the half block.
Hope that's clear enough.
The complaints about using this in a full on item-grinder are basically that droning takes awhile to kill mobs so the item rate may be lower than it could be. Most people put magma traps together wrong and burn some items though so it shouldn't be too slow by comparison.
Does this take advantage of an exploit? I want to make 4 and quadplicate the output.

The source block at the top of the waterfall will cause backflow in the canal. The spiders will never reach the waterfall.
