Has anyone tried 5's at all? We've played for hours both weekends and ran into maybe 5-6 unique teams in total. We've had to grind our way to 1700 getting 5 point wins and dealing with 1-2 minute average queues (15 minutes being the worst).

There are definitely a ton of players still grinding up. I did Rogue/Restokin last week instead of with a standard 11/11/39 spec Druid and played 62 games to go 1727 to 1810. Did not face a single team without at least S3 weapons, probably 80% had S3 shoulders, and most games were 12-14 point wins.
I haven't touched 3v3 or 5v5 yet, though my Warrior friend (S3 Duelist) is bugging me to get my 2v2 partner to make a team for the three of us, playing Rogue/Warrior/Resto Druid. I'm wondering how viable this would be against, like you said, something like Hunter/Priest/Druid or other kite-heavy teams. I'm willing to give it a shot, only getting 600 points this week from 2v2
As far as 5v5, our healer quit on the first day of S4 (We play Rogue/Frost Mage/Affliction Lock/Shadow Priest/Resto Shaman), and we just managed to get a new Shaman to play with us. They played ~40 games to get to the low 1600s with a different Rogue, I wasn't around, so I can't speak on the number of different teams queueing up in US-Ruin. We faced some powerhouse teams in the last week of S3, but I don't know about S4.
