Not really.

The article here is saying that transmogrification is just a step towards breaking the silhouette concept, not the feature that actually breaks it.

Basically, it all boils down to one fact.

It is now a whole lot harder to tell a player's skill level before.

Example A: I can now walk around the world in my level 55 DK starter armor, and then kill the crap out any level 80's and below who try to gank me.

Example B: Before, if I saw someone in full gladiator gear in a contested zone, I probably wouldn't mess with 'em. Now, I just see a pally in Judgement gear. Little do I know that behind that outdated tier armor waits a world-champion PvPer.

Transmogrification doesn't destroy the silhouette concept. But, it's the only sign we've seen so far that Blizzard may be considering throwing the idea out.
