Caz Willy IPA - Opinions Appreciated

[CPORT546]

I've been brewing the same "house IPA" if you will for a few years. I love it and it recently won a bronze medal in a local competition, but its time for new things. The grain bill is very similar to the existing brew but the hop schedule is all new. Below is something I developed based on what I already have in the "inventory" and I would like some opinions.

Bottling Volume: 5.50 gal
Estimated OG: 1.066 SG
Estimated Color: 8.2 SRM

Anybody? I was thinking I would brew this up this weekend.

Looks like hoppy goodness to me. Another option would be 1z Cascade/1Z Will at 1, 1z Cascade/1Z Will at flameout, whirlpool 20 min, 1z Cascade/1Z Will Dry Hop. Might get a little more out of the hops that way. Either way should be fine, though.
