5 ounces of bittering hops is way too much. There is a threshold that one can taste. I understand that much hops actually adds to the flavor and character but you might be better served reducing them and adding more to end of boil and to the dry hopping.

I don't think IIPA would be correct. I believe HFSTW2MFHIMIPA is more appropriate.

I find cascade to be a really terrible bittering hop because of its high cohumulone content. It is super harsh and not pleasant to my tastebuds. Honestly, if I were making a big bad-ass IPA I would go with lots of high alpha hops with lots of flavor and aroma over what you've got there. Not that there is anything wrong with those varietals... but for an almost DIPA I would get some hops with more umph - think warrior, columbus, centennial, simcoe, nugget etc.

Hahaha, for some reason I think that I was perfectly able to decode your acronym there.

And it's exactly the same one I would have used. If this is an attempt at Pliny the Elder, then it's a good start but the timings on those hop additions could use some work.
