Tidy Plates/Threat Plates has made silhouette recognition obsolete. You are also much more likely to look at the unitframe of your target for his health and mana raw number and/or percentage than look at the player himself. You can actually tell a lot more about a player by looking at his unitframe - a paladin with a high amount of mana, for example, would have to be holy. A death knight with a lot of health would be a blood DK. Also if you can see their buffs - the difference between an elemental shaman and a resto shaman can be seen if they are using lightning shield or water/earth shield.
