I use the 5D MKII and the D7000 for video and unless you are planning to spend an extra fortune on them for rigs, screens etc. they are not really suited for general video work at all.
For studio work, where you have a dedicated focus puller, they are a great adjunct to traditional gear with their (relatively) low cost and shallow depth of field allowing traditional looking cinematic close ups etc. but are an absolute pain for general work.
A canon HD video camera is cheap as chips and will do a far far better and way faster job in 99% of corporate/general work. I'd only look at a DSLR as a second camera for some of those cinematic beauty shots.
Honestly, they are too unwieldy for general work, just like an Arri would be. For dedicated work on a film set, or artistic expressionistic short films they are great, but for most work a dedicated HD video camera will eat them alive.
And HD video cameras are cheap, you can get a 2nd hand high quality canon HDV camera for under $500
