Why wouldnt a DSLR (a Canon 550D in this case) which has a HD video mode, be a good camera choice for imaging through a solar scope?

Well because the light from a solar scope is monochrome and a DSLR is bayer matrix. You will be capturing one third of the available light. It will require lots of work to get an image at one third the resolution. Buy a DMK41 or simlar mono camera and get the best possible images. Don't waste your time on DSLR images with this format. If you don't believe me check out the web and you will see all the great images are from monochrome cameras.
