In any version of 1.8, when you hit another player equipped with armor, their armor doesn't flash red. The player himself still turns red, but the armor doesn't at all. I just found out that this was a change added in the 1.8 Snapshot 14w05a, but it makes PvP much harder. It is extremely nice that the armor turns red in 1.7 because you can see a player taking damage much clearer.
