Spin on ground with just slight yaw

I've noticed when at high idle on concrete the helicopter will continue to slowly rotate and slide in either direction when the pedals are barely trimmed left or right. is this realistic?

No it's not realistic, but it's unfortunately a known issue within the DCS "world" and its friction modeling. It's been mentioned elsewhere in the forums, but it's not due to Polychop's modeling.

Yeah, same tends to happen with the other skid equipped helicopters too.

i fly the huey a lot but i've never noticed this

Known issue. DCS bug, no friction simulation in some sense. Its present with Huey too but less (Huey is heavier). You can open topic in DCS bug section.

It's not as obvious there as in the really light helicopters, admittedly.
