Rough idle

Since my engine reseal I've had a bit of a rough idle.

But I didn't really notice how bad it was until getting stuck in stop and go traffic this afternoon. At a stop the idle goes up and down to the point that one mintue it feels like it is about to die, then it will almost lurch forward if I'm not on the brake very hard. The RPMs seem to stay about the same, it's not like the needle is dancing up and down during this. Also while coasting at very low speed in bad traffic the same thing was occuring.

I've got a new battery in there and during the up and downs I don't notice the headlights dimming or anything so I don't "think" it's anything electrical related. I could be wrong though?

The stop and go low speed traffic driving also made me realize I have a very wicked 2-3 flare.
