Looks like the GPU in my iMac is fried. I'm extremely unhappy about this (much of my anger being directed at Apple's pretty, yet poorly-ventilated design choices), but at least it's still under warranty, so I should be back up and running in however long it takes me to get things repaired then (maybe) reinstall Windows, GW2, etc. I've got a laptop so I can stay up to date on the forums, but I won't be logging into GW2 for a while.
EDIT: May not be as bad as I thought. Things seem to be working just fine now. I'll drop the Mac off at the Apple Store for a checkup, but will hopefully be back in action in just a day or two.

Thanks. They've got it, and since anything wrong is covered under the warranty I know I'll be back in action at some point. Just a matter of when now. The timeframe they gave me was pretty much Friday at the latest, so that'll be good to have it for the weekend.

That's a pretty quick turn around, considering you're not doing it yourself.

lol. Well, in this case, it may be a free $700 repair that entails a new GPU and logic board, so I'm goig to withhold judgment on "terrible."
