Unhappy I think my balancer is on its way out!

My car has been running weird lately, and I had no clue why. It will want to die on start up only when cold, I'm getting vibration thats shakes the whole car at highway speeds, and the motor is starting to develop a slight ticking. I thought the ticking was a header leak, but its not. Now I'm thinking the ticking is related to the harmonic balancer being bad. I took a look at the damper and it has a slight wooble, not good hu? Will just replacing the balancer be fine or could there be more damage cause of the slight ticking I'm now hearing. Or, is the ticking caused by the out of balance damper, and will go away when the damper is replaced?
