So I just started up my copy of DA:O, and it said everyone of my DLCs are corrupt. Now I have Xbox Live but my harddrive is now attached to my roommates Xbox instead of mine, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. So does anyone know why my DLCs are corrupt, and how I can fix it? Cause if I can't I'm going to be rather pissed!

On the XBox with the DLC's installed did you clear the system cache ?
If you did, then this invalidates all your installed DLC's and you need to delete and reinstall them all.

At the risk of offending smv, as their advice was well meant, I will have to state that their suggestion is actually wrong with respect to your situation.
I will ask you several questions, and depending on your response there are 'fixes' for the issue.
(1) Is this usage of your room-mate's 360 permanent or temporary?
(2) Can they connect to XBox Live on their console?

Right. Depending on how long this temporary usage is then the simplest way to access the dlc using their 360 and your HDD is to connect to XBox Live, and then you sign in with your Gamertag. Under normal circumstances that will allow their 360 to use your dlc.
That does require XBox Live obviously, and as far as I know requires a permanent connection. In that I'm not sure how a bad connection may affect your gaming.
A more permanent solution is available as well, but that also needs XBox Live (at least for a short period to set things up initially) though after that you can access dlcs offline. Again, under normal circumstances. Sometimes things don't work as intended.

Explanation: purchased dlcs are tied with your Gamertag and console at the very least. With EA games they are also attached to your EA account. These components need to 'match' in order for the dlc to work on the console. If any of them are 'wrong' then access to the content is denied.
Gamertag association is primary. For example, if you signed onto someone else's 360, sign-in with your Gamertag, all your content can be 'accessed' on that console (though you may need to download it first, but you get the idea). As soon as you sign out, that content will be unusable on that 360.
Console I see as secondary. All purchased content (in the loosest sense) is attached to a console via your Gamertag (itself has the primary association with your console). Even if you don't sign-in, other Gamertags can access the content (can you imagine the uproar if everyone had to purchase the same thing for the same console?), at least if things are functioning correctly. It also enables offline access to dlc, so you do not have to be connected to XBox Live to access your content (handy if your connection is bad or there are server problems).
EA account is an additional feature as it were; though that sort of piggybacks on your Gamertag and various Personas if you have more than one. That needs to match up as well.
----
In your case, I anticipate that if you sign out now or do not connect to XBox Live; another Gamertag cannot use the dlc on your HDD. To change this you need to associate the content with that console by performing the license content transfer; though that is the more permanent solution I mentioned. Typically it is reserved for replacing a 360, though you could use it. I believe there's a limit to how often it can be performed in a 12 month period, which is why I didn't mention this first as you informed me your using your room-mate's 360 is temporary.
Waffle over.
