Default Charging at More Than 1C

More and more Lipo's now say you can charge them at more than 1C (I have 1 which says 6C!), what impact does charging at over 1c have, is it dangerous? Shortens life a little/lot? Any other effect!?

Also, should it be at a specific rate or doesn't it matter, eg if I have a 5000mah pack which says max charge is 2C does it matter whether I charge at 6/8/10A etc?
