Hmm the log file only shows a few duplicate frames, so it should have been mostly ok. But if you got choppy playback, its probably because of the pretty high recording settings you use. And those combined with BF4 that also uses quite some CPU power.
I would recommend to downscale to 1280x720 for streaming and see if that gives you a smooth result. Maybe also show us a nother log file of that test.

I downloaded Fraps free version just to try this out and see if other software was giving me the same problem, and it recorded totally fine. I'd much rather use something else though, Fraps file sizes are HUGE and it doesnm't seem to give many options.

I tried just streaming to twitch and not recording and my friend said that my video went between fine and super choppy the whole time. I'm really not sure what this could be at this point.

Hmm, the log had only very few duplicate frames, how was your CPU usage while streaming and playing. You will want to keep it below 80-90% if possible. If nothing helps you have to lower the resolution a bit more, use a higher downscale and tweak it until you can play and stream fine.
Fraps does not compress the video, hence it creates extremely huge files and hence it does not use that much CPU power and only needs a fast HDD to save the file. If you only want to record you can lower the cpu usage of OBS too, but for streaming I can not recommend doing this.

One thing I noticed, you will want to change your scene buffering time to 700. 400 was our old default setting and got changed quite a while ago.
