IBM Bladecenter VMNic to Cisco Switch

So im having a terrible time getting a 2 x vmnic team working with esxi 5.5 management.

Our current network setup (which i suspect is wrong) is that the back of the blade center for blade 1 for example vmnic 0 and vmnic2 both plug into they same cisco 3750 switch into ports gi1/0/7 and 8 respectively.

 
I can get both up and can ping the management interface which is 10.100.0.100.
As soon as I yank out the Vmnic2 physical interface a constant ping stops.
I can see that the mac address has swapped from vmnic2 to vmnic0 from the cisco switch.
When i plug vmnic2 back in the vmnic0 remains as active but does not allow the ping to start again. If I unplug vmnic0 then the ping restarts again. Is this all because I am using the team on one switch?
