Can a vrock take a 5-foot step while doing his 3 rounds of dancing, or is dancing consider a move type action? We had a DM "dance down the hall" after the party, get them in LoS, and then activate the burst. I think this is legal, since it says you can take a 5-foot step as long as your fullround action doesn't involve movement, but dancing is moving, so...

You have to put on your 'rules hat' when interpreting it. A full attack is 'moving' too - you're moving your arm to wield your weapon. But that's not the kind of movement that the 5-foot-step is talking about.
The vrock's dance is not a move in the rules term - it doesn't change it's location any more than a fighter doing a full attack changes location, so I'd allow a 5-foot step each round.

Dance of Ruin (Su) A vrock can dance and chant as a full-round action—at the end of 3 rounds, a crackling wave of energy explodes from the vrock, dealing 5d6 points of electricity damage to all creatures within 100 feet.
Is the dance a full round action and the effect arrive 3 rounds later or is it a 3 full rounds action? If it's the later, 3 full rounds for a 5d6 effect it's pretty lame for a CR9
3 full-round actions. It was a bit harsher when the damage was typeless, but the ability of them to stack together to raise the DC is still pretty potent, and the range is huge. Best done flying above the party by the way (with minions attacking any archers).
