What is the right roof pitch for a dormer?
12 pitch ?Depends on what type of dormer you are talking about. If the dormer has a pitched roof, such as a "gable," it's framed with the same roof pitch as the original roof, so it blends in.A "shed," dormer on the other hand is usually had on homes with a roof pitch of at least 8 in 12 or steeper. This type of dormer needs a roof pitch shallower than that of the original. A general rule of thumb is to keep a shed dormer at least 4 in 12. (A shallower or steeper pitch will make the dormer look out of place).

Could you tell me Which is provides more insulation from heat hip or gable roof?
Neither should have an advantage if insulated correctly and with the same amount of insulation. Eaves are more difficult to insulate as an air cavity just below the roof deck is needed for proper ventilation. Gable walls won't require this. The most important part would be to get a raised heel on the trusses as to give enough space for the proper r value and ventilation.
