P: add an option to Batch using Photoshop Like Bridge has?

I work on hundreds of pictures at a time and I have been waiting for Lightroom to get this feature for years. It seems like a simple feature that should be added. Especailly since Bridge has had it for as long as I can remember.

I am talking about a BATCH option. I don't mean syncing lightroom edits to other pictures. I mean batching through photoshop using actions. Like on Bridge you would go up to Tools>Photoshop>Batch...

So here is what I am wanting to do. I shoot a lot of people on a solid background and then cut them out to put on another background. I usually set up actions in photoshop to do most of the cutting out and switching out the backgrounds for me. After culling through my pictures I would like to select all of the pictures and click on a button to run batch actions straight from Lightroom. 
I've tried doing this using Bridge and Lightroom together but I get tons of metadata errors. They get along as good as fighting siblings. I even have pictures disapper with no trace and no way to find out what happened to them and bring it back. So now I have to open 30 to 40 pictures at a time in photoshop and run the actions. This way works but I REALLY like the way Bridge opens one at a time, does it's thing, saves it and moves to the next picture.

I've searched for work arounds and they always fail. I've tried the droplet method and over half of the pictures processed never run the action. 

Can we please push this feature so they will finally add it to lightroom? 
Or if there is a way to do it that I have overlooked please let me know.
