Once a single mod pack is launched from the FTB launcher, I'm unable to revert to using my own individual list of mods. The only ways left to play are either have my mod experience dictated to me, or play vanilla. As you can imagine, these are both bad options, from the result of a HUGE glitch that was somehow overlooked.

I'm trying to figure out what the hell you mean? What is the glitch? You didn't explain well. You appear to be complaining about FTB's intended function? It's not well suited to custom mod packs as the auto update feature seems to override the edits you make. For example remove Railcraft (and BC) if you update the pack Railcraft will be added back. It's like this becasue the launcher has not been designed to scan your old instance for changes, it just DLs everything to the pack compilers specifications. This is done to maintain pack consistency for multiplayer, which is what FTB's strength lies.
If you don't like having things "dictated" to you, try to use a launcher that's purpose built for custom Minecraft instances which the FTB launcher isn't. I use MultiMC myself, in fact I use a pack that I started from scratch that didn't use a FTB pack as a base.
However some knowledge regarding mod compatibility is essential to get it working, I only recommend using it if you have boundless amounts of patience.

If Azzanine is correct, you can use the "Edit Mod Pack" tab to make your changes.
If I understand what I've seen from the public demos correctly, the new Curse-based launcher will allow you to customize the packs before you load them to your system. If you want to include "mod x" you put a checkmark in its box and don't want "mod y" you deselect it. As long as you get your mods from the Curse repository you're set.

I downloaded and launched a mod pack, and now I can't go back to using my own selection of mods.
Well if you launched FTB from the same folder as your custom modpack then yes it removed your mod folder and overwrote it.
Use MultiMC if you want to run a custom set of mods, it makes it far easier to do.
