I think I know where you're coming from, though I don't have enough professional experience to need to switch tracks yet.
I tell myself that having a grasp of both sides (tech and design) is a great thing .. and that it's people who can be flexible who'll be in demand. (.. well, at least I hope that's true)
Maybe you just need to find a longterm project that's interesting enough? The skills you have are going to be a huge asset wherever you choose to go .. and I reckon doing something like becoming involved in running a startup has it's own set of problems and rewards. Or maybe become involved with an open-source project which needs good UX and has a few professionals on board who can provide a bit of mentoring?
In a sense, I think that web design/development is like learning to paint or draw - you'll never master it completely, and if you start to get bored you just need to find different subjects and themes to focus on.
