When searching for a dialog to launch via javascript:

Category = 1 (Dialog) Type = 1 (Definition) - This is important if trying to call a dialog from javascript!

Solution:

triggerDialog = function (name, entityName, recordId) {

var dialogId = "";

    var request = Xrm.Page.context.getServerUrl() + "/XRMServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc/WorkflowSet?$select=Name,WorkflowId&$filter=Type/Value eq 1 and Category/Value eq 1 and Name eq '"+name+"'";
    $.ajax({
        type: "GET",
        contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
        datatype: "json",
        url: request,
        async: false,
        beforeSend: function (XMLHttpRequest) {
            XMLHttpRequest.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");
        },
        success: function (data, textStatus, XmlHttpRequest) {
            if (data.d.results.length > 0) {
                dialogId = data.d.results[0].WorkflowId;  
           }
        },
        error: function (XmlHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
            /*Error Occurred*/
        }
    });

var serverUrl = Xrm.Page.context.getServerUrl();

window.showModalDialog(
serverUrl + "/cs/dialog/rundialog.aspx?DialogId=" + encodeURIComponent(dialogId) + "&EntityName=" + encodeURIComponent(entityName) + "&ObjectId=" + encodeURIComponent(recordId), null, "dialogHeight:600px;dialogWidth:800px;center:yes; resizable:1;maximize:1;minimize:1;status:no;scroll:no");

Hope this helps
