I talked with another friend about it, & he agrees it MAY be the balancer. I know all the pulleys should be absolutely still while spinning. I have only 3 pulleys W/ a serpentine belt. The WP & alt look fine. The only other thing I could think of would be a problem with a crank bearing, but with as much movement as I am seeing, there would probably be more severe symtoms & oil leaking.
