Ive tried Aloft. The mob bar will glow to tell me I have aggro ONLY when I have that mob targeted. Can any mod show some from of aggro indication even when you havent targeted that mob on their overhead health bar?
IE The raid pulled 20 aboms and you want to know which ones are targeting you by just looking at their bar without having to tab target through each Abom.

You can go to Interface Options/Display. There in the right Area is a drop down box labeled "Show threat warning" with the values "never, always, Instance, party" (by memory, real text could vary, but should give the direction)
This will make your Nameplates "glow" red, when you have aggro, yellow on losing/gaining aggro, no glow when you re not having aggro. Excellent for Trash/Multimob Tanking.
This is standard blizzard ui, most nameplate modifiers (like evl_nameplates) just keep/inherit this glow. Aloft should be able to do the same. Make sure you have enemy nameplates enabled and the mobs are in a range that show nameplates.
And for this:

The Blizzard threat API does not return threat data on any mob you are not in direct combat with. We suspect this is an effort on Blizzard's part to save network traffic.

The nameplates are showing "no threat data" when you dont have aggro (incl. there is no threat data). This is of course the case, when you are not directly in combat with that unit.
When you have aggro - on the other side - you are directly in combat with that unit and the Blizzard API can display "You have aggro"
