Default Engine shake.

I just replaced my engine mounts too, they are brand new from about 5-7 months ago? Is this normal?

I don't think it's normal.
Rough idle? Missing?
No CELs?

slight rough idle when warm at stop lights.
No CEL, replaced coolant temp sensor, so it went away.

temp gauge does go half way, it goes up then goes back down for some reason.
need a new thermostat?

These things don't idle that great. I haven't been in one that idles smooth. New motor mounts make it a little more noticeable.

Most likely. Does it stay below the half way point when you're driving on the freeway/highway and then creep back up when you're stopped or in traffic?
