Career wise I made two failed moves to even smaller firms (6-9 lawyers), and landed up having two and landed up having <3month stints.

Should I still try applying to the bigger firms or hold out a little longer at my current firm (I am currently at firm 4) which I am close to completing a year and only start applying at the 1 year 1/2month mark.

I am paid in the 5.5-6 range and obtained a small bonus.
FCH and dual-qualification don't mean **** unless you have the work experience to back it up. Join a big reputable practice - it's a safe bet. You are also being underpaid. The faster you apply, the faster you can kickstart your career.
