    I think it depends of the kind of project. I've done IA work in the past and for me it was a lot about actually figuring out what needed to go into the application....lots and lots of interviews, meetings, research, etc... The wireframes were simply a deliverable like any other as part of the conversation with the client. On some of these more complicated projects, UX work would go on for a few months and visual design just a couple weeks. Of course, this is for a certain kind of project and for an average site I'm sure the visual design team can finish the whole thing on its own. But even in those cases I've found that wireframes are a nice tool to solidify the layout before adding color and styling.
