I'm loading a animated .x mesh with D3DXLoadMeshHierarchyFromX, and I'm having trouble animating it. It animates too fast (its made to animate at 30 fps and my app runs at 500 fps), how do I make it animate at the speed it would if the program was running at 30 fps?
Plus, how do you loop between animation frames? I know there are animation sets, but my modeller doesn't support them (since the .x exporter is a 3rd party plugin) and it's really annoying to set animation sets manually in a text editor. I just want to be able to give my program two frames, and have it loop between them (10-15, 16-20, etc.) How would I do that?

In your animController->AdvanceTime call, use a smaller delta-time = 30/500 times your 500 fps frame time. I think that's right. Try it.

You'll have to duplicate the function of the animation controller, as far as slerping and combining the frame data. You'll need to calculate all the frame data for the bones and their parent bones that you want to animate. I would think the time to code that would be much greater than editing the x-file, as you'll have to calculate the data for those two frames in any case.
