I tend to use only an ounce (depending on AAs) of bittering and go for more late hops. Depends on if you want a more bitter or more flavorful/aromatic beer. Grain bill looks fine to me.

i'd add a 1-2oz dry hop addition with either or both cascade and centennial

Might be a matter of taste, but I love the 3C combination, and I'd probably swap out the bittering addition for a smaller amount of Columbus, and use all 3 in the later additions (and a centennial/cascade dry hop combo)
