The bulk of the section of the DSM-5 definition which you point up was in the DSM-IV in the section on differential diagnosis, so no, the definition hasn't changed all that much. The main difference is the change to exclude normal reactions to ordinary stressors.
It takes a long time and a lot of training to learn to apply the diagnostic categories in the DSM to behaviors seen in the clinic. It would be impractical to split time between different diagnostic schemes.
