Dash jumped to $300 today for a very good reason. If you are going to abandon Bitcoin, you might as well go to the best thing there is, and its definitely not BCH

Those two conditions are separate from one another. You can have BCC exceed BTC in either price or market cap without the blockchain halting. You may see a mass exodus of hashpower, but it'd be absurd to thing there'd be a sudden and total abandonment. Even if the blockchain slows it'll readjust at the difficulty increase.

No, you'd just see the value from BTC slide into BCC and the effective resolution of the fork.

So BCC will just take off where BTC left off? I understand the BTC block chain wouldn't just halt, but if the price went down enough and mass amounts of people were selling, without hashpower the transactions could take days/weeks to be confirmed with no eda

But would they slow down that much if the difficulty decreased proportionally to the rate of miner abandonment? Less miners = less difficulty, correct? Or am I completely misinformed...

It's not an automatic adjustment. It's based on hashed block rates. And, if hash power exits BTC it makes it exponentially difficult to hash the blocks to meet the adjustment.
