Hey thanks guys. That helped.

Hi thrillhouse86, thanks for the detailed reply! I don't think I phrased my question well enough though. Because the dot product of two vectors is a scalar, when we find the flux through a surface the integrand and answer are both scalars. If instead, the integrand were a vector, the integral...

If we integrate a vector field over a surface, \int_S \vec{F} \cdot \vec{dS}, we get the flux through that surface. What does it mean if the integrad were a vector instead, \int_S \vec{F} dS? I can't picture the Riemann sum.
