In your opinion or has anybody done this The brew has been ready for a couple of weeksSo it's time to dry hop but I would like to hurry things up So I want to go crash and dry up at the same time
 
Dry Hops will 'infuse' slower at colder temperatures. Also cold crashing will drop all the dry hops directly to the bottom of the fermenter. If you can spare 2-3 days, dry hop warm for 2-3 days, then cold crash for 24hrs. You'll get more hop aroma that way.

This exactly.
 
You can also dryhop during fermentation with no issues, unlless you are planning to reuse the yeast and don't want the added hoppiness in the next brew using that yeast batch.
