There was a period for about a week after I spent 3~4 weeks getting my WPM up to ~60 where I completely forgot how to type in QWERTY, but it picked back up after playing MS and typing in QWERTY :\ It really depends on how often you use either one. I naturally type in Dvorak, but switch when playing games, mostly. It takes a second for my brain to switch into typing the other way.

Especially since I run three mules for my guild, and share two other accounts. It would confuse the hell out of both me and anyone trying to rearrange the keys.
It does temporarily kill them, though. That is, if you want to learn properly.
Why do you have to switch? o-o Mine works fine without having to switch.
In any case, Ctrl-Shift is all I have to do to switch.
