I to, haven't seen Magmortar or Absol as much as I'd expected. As far as Magmortar is concerned I agree that it is easy revenge killable and not a threat to unprepared players.
Absol is a completely different story though. With the abundance of Psychic pokemon in NU you'd think that Absol would be on nearly every team but I never see it (which is a good thing considering my current team has no reliable way to counter the thing.) It doesn't have many solid counters and tends to force a lot of switches nabbing a free Swords Dance boost or sub. So can someone explain why I'm not seeing any Absol?
