wait approx 1 min then insert battery and hard reset device (center dpad, vol down, pwr button)
once the rom installs and resets I do a clear storage twice
On the 2nd "clear storage" I insert my memory card with my sdconfig.txt on it.

Is this what you are calling "the dance". I have never heard of flashing back to stock rom.

Thanks for any help..... Jarrod
Nah Bro,
The Dance
When we ROM jump, SOMEtimes file get written to the wrong location. This can cause the random freezies, the soft reset becomes a hard reset, random soft and/or hard resets, and other weirdness.
A good sign you need The Dance is when you have any of the above issues, issues with BASIC functionality like calls, or when you are having issues that no one else is posting on.
Flashing a SHIPPED Stock ROM re-writes the radio which helps put everything back in it's proper place. The radio is key, a dumped stock ROM without the radio wont cut it.
So flash stock ROM, hard reset, (while in Stock check some basics to make sure everything is working as it should) flash custom ROM, hard reset.
Re-flash radio of choice.
Hope that helps and clears it up.

EDIT:
btw-you can grab a Stock ROM from the HTC website.
