I want to play games on my dedicated gpu and then have the intel graphics for watching video's, so that I don't have to deal with the performance drops. My second monitor is plugged into the intel graphics slot and primary in the dedicated gpu, but when I play videos they still appear to be utilizing the dedicated gpu when I'm gaming. Is this something that's actually possible?

I think it's not possible because I saw many people saying that they bought expensive PC and they couldn't play graphics intensive games, after they found issue that they had connected their monitor to motherboard's video output. After connecting their monitor cable into discrete card, their games started run fine.
But you should be fine because watching videos won't drop your gaming performance. :)

^It does affect my gaming performance though. As an example, in Left 4 Dead 2 I'll get a solid 144fps, though when I start watching a video it'll tend to flicker between 80-100 and will occasionally drop right down to around 60.

Well, then you have to only play or only watch the video, how you play and watch video in same time?

I understood that you have 2 monitors, I meant how you can play and watch, because if you watch movie, you won't be able to play (unless your one eye can play games and second eye watch movie).
Or your family members watch movies while you play?

^I can keep an eye on watching a video at the same time as playing a game + I play Versus in Left 4 Dead frequently, so there's breaks during the infected re-spawn and chapter change overs.

You're "Superman" :D 
But you have to choose gaming or watching.
