if your only dpsing in 5mans does it matter what dps spec you are?

As you are only dpsing in 5 mans, that means almost everything is an aoe pull. And thats the place where blood falls behind unholy and frost. As woohaa said, in 5 mans it doesnt really matter, so you cn do whatever you like, but blood isnt as good for 5 mans as unholy or frost(for raiding, however, its perfectly viable).

well if you really do care then i'll take the extra time to actually type a real reply. since the other one took only 10sec to type out...and don't get butt hurt your the one that typed out to keep in mind your usually only dps for 5mans. so i kept that in mind when i wrote that reply.
For raiding. yes blood is lower in dps atm but is still a viable build, it's not so lackin that you'd be considered an idiot to play it. you get 2 decent buffs (hysteria and abom's might) that helps your raid. hysteria of course only applying to 1 person. however it's still a buff. So there's really no issues there...play what you want to play or if your a team player and your guild asked you to bring the 10% ap buff then yes blood is fine.
as far as 5mans go. blood probably performs the worst because of it's lack in aoe compared to the other 2 trees. however, you will most likely outdps every other dps on the bosses since the boss fights only last like 45 - 60 sec and with hysteria and DRW you'll push ahead in the first 40 sec by a good 3k dps.

I was blood dps until some weeks ago when i switched my dps spec for a pvp one. Most of my time spend 80(which is, since 3.0.8) I have been blood because its the only tree I really like. Right now I dont dps anymore, but if I was asked for a guild as raid dps, I'd go blood. I even wrote a blood dps guide; shows how much I like it.

personally i don't. i'm using a 17/0/54 unholy and a frost dw tanking build for heroics. I like blood more then unholy as 2hand builds go. however, sometimes we have to play other specs for diversity.
and as far as how we answered your simple question...it was distracted by your 5man statement. since any build is viable in 5mans. blood is not obsolete in 5mans or in raiding atleast till cataclysm when it changes to a pure tanking tree. However, since it seems you don't read the forums as much as me and apoc here...there are alot of people here that play blood dps. If you don't believe then you can check the cataclysm preview where you'll see a ton of people hating blizzard for changing their favorite dps tree into a tanking tree.
