Your Dps will go down but you have increased flexabilty to handle new instances.

you will miss the old dps burn downs a lot. Only 3 dps vers 5 is a 40 percent hit

Goal is to have fun , and you like to raid so it lets you have more fun
Oh yeah, I wouldn't do this if it weren't more fun.

Once they're all 70/80 and on the same general gear level, I think my DPS will only drop more like 30%, not 40%, because the extra buffs will make up some of the gap, though clearly a 5 DPS team that manages to do an instance would go faster than any other team. And 5 manning a heroic with all DPS must be a great accomplishment too! I did find that at level 60, my prot pally in terrible gear was still a better tank than any of the shaman were in appropriate level 63/64 gear. I was able to clear out BF and Ramps with this team no problem where my shaman couldn't do it yet. Of course, my healing is overpowered (1k non crit COH) but still.
