5) loot!

EDIT: I think 10 boxing is just getting all the damn macros and keybindings set... which you knew would be a pain going in.

Not just key bindings and macros, but individual macros for damn near every boss, with movement and clicking on some, and at the end of the day, not really enough epics to cover the man power cost of just running heroics, which at this point offers me better and faster loot. Might be worth the trouble if they reduced lockouts to a day instead of a week. The conclusion I arrived to was that it was just more productive to go it with 5.

But then, that's my experience from the perspective of one of every class in a 10-man raid. 2 Paladins and 8 Shamans would probably cruise along a lot easier, but my ultimate goal was to realize the potential of every class at the cap. I just do it in 2 groups of 5 instead of one of 10. Plus side is I can still field all 10 if the need strikes me.
