Seems to me the crop factor with APS-c and a 50mm lens is going to result in a left-to-right field-of-view far too narrow for more than just a couple of people (50mm is the equivalent to about an 80mm full-frame lens).

It might, depending on what aperture you use. Maybe Google for  dof chart/calculator to help.

Also, one other thing I've heard about taking group portraits is to take several shots in quick succession. If you take only one, someone's eyes might be closed at that moment.

Not a bad idea.
