Dead lifts kicked my abs! (lifting, weight, bigger, bodyweight)

If you think deads made your abs sore, do a snatch balance workout and see what happens.

Crossfit may say otherwise, though.

a regular CF wod never has heavy deads in it. the only time you'll see heavier deads in a metcon is with a strength biased program(CrossFit football, Outlaw crossfit, etc) and you rarely see reps exceed 7. Most of the times, it's 3-5.

I am going to have to learn how to do snatches!

Right now, I can do deadlifts at 85# (3 sets of 12) but I can't lift more than ~40-50# above my waist.

If you want to learn snatches, do so from a level 3 or above USAW coach..at the VERY least, level 2.

Actually, the Hex bar deadlift isn't the best idea if your targeting your back muscles.
It involves more quads and hams than lats and rhomboid.

That's interesting. It seems almost identical to regular deadlifts except I don't hit my shins with the barbell.

clean pull deadlift = quads, regular deadlift more hammies
