I find them much more profitable than doing raids that only go a little faster and where normal loot is split in so many directions. In particular, I like 5-man runs of the Scarlet side of Stratholme, where in addition to normal loot, I have a decent chance of finding a Righteous Orb which go for around 50g on the Tichondrius auction house.
You actually get groups that are willing to to do a 5 man run on Strat or Scholo? Lucky you.
My typical WoW day since reaching lvl 58, and even much more so since I *dinged* lvl 60 looks actually like this.
[Player 1]: Hey wanna do Strat?
[Me]: 10 or 5 man?
[Player 1]: Well looks like it will be 10.
[Me:] No sry, not again.
[Player 2]: Hey whats up. Wanna join a raid on Scholo?
[Me]: Raid? What about doing this with 5 people? Never done this.
[Player 2]: Scholo with 5? That's insane.
[Me]: Yeah problably it is, but at least would be fun :)
[Player 2]: Nah, don't want to spend the whole night on this.
Really are there people out here, who are willing to do 5 man at lvl 60? Hell, I have even been to raids to LBRS. Talk about boring.
I actually never been to Dire Maul, since nobody is interested doing it, as there are no "set items" drops.
But, apart from being boring as hell, doing Strat and Scholo with 10 people can be financially rewarding, even if imho this is really more work for money then a rewarding game experience. So though I detest raiding instances which have been designed for a 5 man group, I find myself nonetheless signing up on these from time to time just to harvest some money, and with some luck one decent item.
