Hi Nick.
Regarding the hybernation issue... I have read that ROGs might suffer of this issue. My GL552VW (a different model from yours) had the very same issue hybernation/sleep. In addition, I had the same problem when the screen went off after a few minutes I did not use the laptop. The easy solution was to not let the laptop hybernate/sleep and not let the screen go off. Obviously that was just frustrating. I updated my video cards and wifi drivers. However it didn't work.
I fixed it by flashing my BIOS with the latest version. I am afraid that's the only chance you have to fix your problem. Just be sure to download the correct drivers (I'm not telling you that because I believe you can do otherwise. Just a precaution. I've been told the same. As you have said, flashing the BIOS can be tricky. However with the right drivers is just a piece of cake).
My GL552VW works fine now and I'm very happy with it. I hope you will solve your issues.

Now for flashing bios, ive seen multiple posts saying people bricked their laptop which is why i havent done it yet for the fear of that. I have only flashed bios on desktops with a fail safe built in. From those posts though, seems that Asus didnt bother to put a fail safe into this laptop.

... My laptop has Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit edition on it. I have all the right drivers for it.
Now, when i put it into sleep mode, it goes to sleep just fine. The problem im having is brightness controls for the screen after sleep. They stop working.
The animation still works but the screen won't dim or (if its dim) won't go any brighter.
