So I used some code I found at this link: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/8481388146 for scanning tooltips. Got the name of the inventory item, works on me.

Tried it on a guy next to me, worked. Super!
Tried it on the next guy next me to me. Failed. Hmm... why is that nil... turns out GetItemInfo(itemName) only works if I own the gear :-(

Guess I'm out of luck going that route too

Code if it helps at all... excuse the sloppiness of it.

CreateFrame( "GameTooltip", "MyScanningTooltip", nil, "GameTooltipTemplate" ); -- Tooltip name cannot be nil
 
local function ScanTooltipOfUnitSlotForTransmog(unit,slot)
   local tooltip = MyScanningTooltip
   local isTransmogrified = false
   local itemName = nil
   tooltip:SetOwner( WorldFrame, "ANCHOR_NONE" ); -- does a ClearLines() already
   tooltip:SetInventoryItem(unit,slot)
   for i=1,MyScanningTooltip:NumLines() do
      local left = _G["MyScanningTooltipTextLeft"..i]:GetText()
      if left then
         if isTransmogrified then
            -- The line after the Transmog header has been found will be the name
            -- might have to parse Illusion: Hidden
            itemName = left
            break -- return isTransmogrified, itemName
         end
         
         if left == "Transmogrified to:" then -- Deal with localization - any better patterns to match?
            isTransmogrified = true
         end
      end
   end
   return isTransmogrified, itemName
end
 
transmogSlots = { InspectHeadSlot, InspectShoulderSlot, InspectBackSlot, InspectChestSlot, InspectWristSlot, InspectHandsSlot, InspectWaistSlot, InspectLegsSlot, InspectFeetSlot, InspectMainHandSlot, InspectSecondaryHandSlot }
 
-- Inspect the target manually before you try unless you've targetted yourself
unit = "playertarget"
 
 
for i, slot in ipairs(transmogSlots) do
   slotId = slot:GetID()
   
   local isTransmogrified, itemName = ScanTooltipOfUnitSlotForTransmog(unit,slotId)
   if isTransmogrified then
      local name, link, quality, iLevel, reqLevel, class, subclass, maxStack, equipSlot, texture, vendorPrice = GetItemInfo(itemName)
      if link then
         -- Can't call by itemName unless I have it in my bags... ugh!
         print (format("Slot %s is transmogrified to %s.", slotId, link))
      else
         print (format("Slot %s is transmogrified to %s", slotId, itemName))
      end
   end
end
