when you get turned into an amber construct

Which I use in DBM on amber shaper unsok to basically fix bad fight design. You see, when you get turned into an amber construct, the game is bogged down with low performance and a Ui NIGHTMARE tornado of nameplates for players, pets, totems, guardians. DBM handles this grievous bad encounter design by auto hiding nameplates when you are turned into a construct and then reshow them when you become human again.
**DBM did this smart and World of Warcraft Gold in a way so that you still had nameplates for amber shaper, oozes, and other constructs. It wasn't a simple matter of just hitting V in combat and turning all plates on or off. or just friendly plates on or off. There will be no substitute to DBM's work around in 5.4.8 with these changes. :\

God knows what this will do to 3rd party nameplate addons too.

I am aware there is a particular UI mod out there that uses showing/hiding of nameplates to detect casts for auto interrupting that can be abused in pvp. However, there has to be a way to fix that problem without breaking other mods.
