Looking for thoughts/feedback on this Rye IPA recipe I've designed. I like a rye forward beer, I hope this will do the trick. (Not listed in the ingredients but I always mash rice hulls in any rye beer.).

Mr Malty calculated out at 1.2 packs of dry yeast, just figured I'd throw it all in due to slightly high ABV. Any issues with overpitching in this style?

Boil Size: 6.53 gal
Post Boil Volume: 5.99 gal
Batch Size (fermenter): 5.00 gal
Bottling Volume: 4.60 gal

Estimated OG: 1.069 SG
Estimated ABV: 7.2%
Estimated Color: 13.1 SRM
Estimated IBU: 64.6 IBUs

Boil Time: 60 Minutes

Ingredients:
------------
Amt Name %/IBU
8 lbs Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) 56.6 %
4 lbs Rye Malt (4.7 SRM) 28.3 %
1 lbs Cararye (66.0 SRM) 7.1 %
1 lbs Vienna Malt (3.5 SRM) 7.1 %
2 oz Chocolate Rye Malt (250.0 SRM) 0.9 %
1.00 oz Warrior [15.00 %] - First Wort 60.0 min 49.2 IBUs
1.00 oz Amarillo [9.20 %] - Boil 10.0 min 10.0 IBUs
1.00 oz Amarillo [9.20 %] - Boil 5.0 min 5.5 IBUs
2.0 pkg Safale American (DCL/Fermentis #US-05)
2.00 oz Amarillo [9.20 %] - Dry Hop 7.0 Days 0.0 IBUs
 
Depends on how much you like Rye. I don’t go over 1.5lbs in my rye ipas, takes away from the hops in my opinion.

I agree for the most part. I brew about 4 rye beers a year and when I want to use more rye, I use hops that work with rye. I've found the earthy type hops pair very well with rye. Mt. Hood, Palisade for example.
I also like the fruity hops with rye though in moderate amounts. Simcoe, Citra and Southern Cross have done well for me in rye pales.
