One big patch is fine if that's what works best for you. Thanks for improving that dissector!

I don't see any PIM captures in my personal library, sorry.

Hmm.. my brain isn't working too well trying to remember the differences. I thought I remembered, then realized I was thinking of IGMPv1 versus v2;). I did find this link:
http://www.scribd.com/doc/2584135/Cisco-3750-Configure-IP-multicast-routing
.. see page 40-4 in chapter 40, under the heading "PIM Versions." Maybe that will help (I know it's not much).
