Both are fantastic cameras and I consider myself very fortunate to own both.

this is also why i like using the 5DII for shooting people in non sports situations, I don't really need to count their pores. and i get better colours with the camera with it's natural abilities. However, as i'm shooting more raw now, the colour isn't as much of an issue anymore.
5DmkII = portrait, landscape, wide angle, and narrow DOF (or emphasized depending how you look at it)
7D = sports, action, telephoto/wildlife, precision focusing, and occasionally portrait as it can remotely set off my to flashes without needing to use my pocket wizzards.
