D7 (C7 shape, 2 Root notes)
Notice how this movable "C7" shape contains no 5th but it does have 2 root notes... Well, we really don't need to play both roots, so we can simplify this chord further.
If we don't play the higher root (in this example the high D on the 3rd fret of the B string), It does not change the chord...
This voicing of the Dominant 7th chord still contains the Root (D) and the most important notes (the tritones), F# (the 3rd) and C (the Dominant 7th).

D7 (Scale degrees)
Now that we have omitted the high root note, we are left with a simplified voicing of the Dominant 7th chord. The Chord can be fingered using easy (D7 fingering), and the Root note is on the A string. e.g. play this veriosn of the Dominant 7th chord with the Root at the 8th fret and you'll be voicing a nice F7 chord!
