Dungeons and Raid Groups

What is the difference between a "Dungeon" and a "Raid"?

"At the core, there is only one difference between a dungeon group and a raid, Dungeon groups have a maximum of 5 characters, while Raid groups have anywhere from 6 to 40 characters.  This very simple distinction makes the two very different however.  As the size of the group increases, specialization in each character is fundamentally necessary."
