So.... I never really cared much for using my bank... it's pretty much sat with 50$ in it for the past few months, would putting 3,000$ into it to right away send to dwolla then change to bitcoins raise any flags? im just really nervous about this part.

Don't think banks raise any flags unless its 10k cash or more. Even then, they are looking for a pattern.
If it really freaks you out, why not just stagger your 3k into 3 different 1k transactions over the course of a month?
Either way, the whole money thing is really more dangerous to the seller, who might establish some kind of pattern with constant cash deposits/withdrawals.
I was totally nervous the first time I did this too. But I was more worried about the post office finding some goods, not so much the bank.
Hope this helps!
