the 5-man squads will be expensive for what you get, and can't take a heavy weapon.
full 10-man squads will however be the same cost as always, and can be split before a game into two 5-man squads during deployment... (quite a tasty prospect really!)
ravenwing & deathwing armies are still playable - you simply *must* include the 'master of _____wing' as your mandetory hq...
overall, yes it's very different and extream, but it basically just comes down to the fact that gw is;
a) trying to stop serve min/maxing
b) wanting the DA's to have their "own" fighting style

My local store manager said a lot of things about the new empire army book for WHFB that was untrue to get me to order a army deal... We'll see in February. I could see it happening since the templars had their own unique squad configuration, but if they neuter them like they did with the templars I'm repainting/selling/trading.
