I think what you're seeing is people using Infiltrator's cloak purely as a damage multiplier, rather than as an invisibility cloak.  The reason for that is mainly because Bioware, in their infinite 'wisdom,' chose to make all enemies omniscient; able to see you and know where you are and what you're doing at all times, no matter where they are in relation to you or whether they have any sightline, and whether you're cloaked or not.  This renders the invisibility and stealth aspect of cloak completely useless and makes the damage boost mechanic its only relevant utility.

 

The reason people use it as a damage boost is that this part is so much more useful since the part about playing the game is to kill stuff and not evade them. Apart from that, the invisibility part works pretty well. I should part now.

Cyonan since we're talking cloak, is there any difference in the Volus cloak other than the obvious no damage boost. Soloing with him it "seems/feels" like aggro shifts much faster. Oddly even enemies that ignore the decoy check down to it at times when you cloak. The aggro shift seems faster than normal,

 

The fun thing about the Volus during solos is that he has a temporary partner which receives an AI check regardless of if the enemy is programmed to attack it. When you dump aggro by cloaking they know they are supposed to do a check for other targets after their current process is finished, then after the check is complete they know your location based off of your last known location prior to cloaking or by the "sound" mechanic.
