Maybe im misunderstanding you, but what i mean is an actual CDM in the formation, not a defensive minded CM. For instance, i think someone like even an attack minded player like Modric playing 352 as a CDM, would be far better positioned defensively than say a defensive minded player like yaya toure playing CM in 3412.
Obviously he would be far worse off at heading and proper CDM stuff. but as a formation as a shape i think that is the major difference between 352 and 3412.
The difference in price of the formation cards i think demonstrates this, but to address your first question. I think you would end up doing less attacking in a 3412 because of how ur CM's would be further up the field at all times, maybe as a counter attacking team 3412 is more effective.
