+5 gives 5 more damage on every swing. On a 1.5 speed weapon (like an offhand dagger), that equates to:
60 seconds / 1.5 * 5 = 200 damage over one minute.
So if a weapon is faster than 1.5, then a +5 is better. If the weapon is slower, then fiery is better.
Is that about right?

Well there is one key difference between them. One is affected by armor, and the other isn't. But afaik fiery can be resisted (Especially by mobs with immunity to fire or high fire resists).
Also, if you are enchanting off-hand, it is generally better to use fiery proc, since it does full damage, while the damage enchant will be reduced by off-hand penalty.
