If I shut down the boil at 15 mins to add dry extract, when should I restart my boil timer? I've been waiting until after I get a boil to restart the timer, but that adds a few minutes to the total time.

In my honest opinion, I don't think it will make a big difference one way or the other. Just restart the timer when you get boil.
I just keep it boiling when adding DME,since it doesn't sink straight to the bottom like LME. I only remove the BK from the heat when adding the LME so it doesn't burn on the bottom.
Agreed. No reason to stop the boil with DME. Even with LME I don't stop the boil - I simply pour slow and vigorously whisk it in with my nice large Paderno whisk.

Awesome. That'll cut some time off of my brewing to boot. Thanks for advice.
Glad to help with my own experiences.
