I honestly think this needs to be a part of Chrome Dev Tools's profiler. Already it's able to record sessions that persist across page loads, and tracks what CSS selectors are applied and which properties are overridden. I don't think it's much of a stretch to add a feature like this.

+1 for something along these lines to be available in all vendor's dev tools!
Agreed! We need something that collects data from multiple pages as you browse through and use your site. At the end it gives you a table of all your classes that didn't match anything (with line number references to your css file).
Though you need to manually visit all those pages. And it wouldn't be easy to traverse DOM with those server side logic/condition.

IMHO, do it offline and out of browser would be easier. But I also think doing it directly with the codes can be hard too since there are so many way that those css will be added to templates.

Unless the pages are dynamically generated
