I mashed high, about 156. I wanted to keep it pretty full bodied, and I didn't want crazy attenuation. The flame out hop additions may not be customary for this style, but I'm no expert in that regard when it comes to the Mild Ale. They add a nice aroma that isn't over powering. You could probably lose the Haller flameout all together, or make it .25oz and still be okay.
