I believe I found the issue behind my errors, and it seems the majority of us own the same hardware that is causing all this trouble, our Solid State Drives. I did a fresh OS install with just my Vertex4 installed and right off the bat, I was getting crashes. Specifically the dllhost.exe errors. When I traced my previous crashes, they were all .dll crashes. I turns out my SSD is actually corrupted.

I went ahead and installed Windows7 on a 1TB Caviar Black I was previously using for storage and the problem is no longer existent. I'm working with OCZ to replace my SSD and try to install FFXIV on it once my replacement arrives and see if the issue persists once more.

*shrugs* I can't imagine that this is the solution to everyone's issue who posted here, but its perhaps a try :\
