Wondering if these hops will clash or not. I have used alot of them together before with good results, just not all of them! Going for a super fruity IPA but balanced with citrus and pine also. Thoughts?

May come out a bit muddled with so many varieties. Id stick to no more than three complimentary varieties. If your feeling adventurous, go for it.
 
I would consider dropping the citra, as I feel it can easily overwhelm other hops, even when used in small quantities.

I have no hands-on experience with Kohatu or Mosaic, but it looks like a very interesting hop bill. Maybe drop a couple hops from the late boil additions and consider dry-hopping with them if you feel (upon tasting) that you want to add some complexity?

You think even at the small amount that is there it will come across too much? I like what citra adds to beers, but I don't want a lot of it, just a small bit to add to the other flavors
 
I have used Galaxy, mosiac, Citra, Centennial and columbus together with great results. Just never thrown Kohatu or Cascade into the mix the same mix and not sure how much it will change it. Granted the beer that I used them all in was a coconut IPA which they all melded excellently with. I have only used Kohatu once in a beer and it is still fermenting so not sure how it came out yet.
 
I agree with most other posters, stick with a few because the tastes/aromas may get muddled. I would personally stick with Citra, Galaxy, and Mosaic for aroma, and Warrior for bittering.
