I am having a similar issue. I have an Nvidia GT 555 M and the integrated graphics. I have it set to run Dolphin with the Nvidia and it works fine with Dx9 and OpenGl.
However, when I play my Fire Emblem Radiant dawn game, there are glitches with graphics unless I use Dx11, but when I use Dx11, Dolphin does not see my Nvidia Gt 555. If I switch to either of the other backends, it sees the nvidia immediately, but not for Dx11.

Don't worry, it is still using the GT555M, even though it doesn't show it

Really? Is dx11 faster than OpenGl?

It is

But DX9 is fastest, so if you can work out the problems use it. It should be the most compatible and OpenGL is also supposed to be more compatible than DX11

Also, you could try making a custom Radeon profile for Dolphin with catalyst control center, and force Dolphin.exe to run with admin privilages. Also, it goes without saying that you have the latest GPU drivers, and not some oem set.
