American Ale II is a good yeast. It plays well with hops in my past experiences. If you build a good starter you may see your FG drop a little. You could even substitute some grain for dextrose to dry it out.

If this were me brewing, i'd probably look to do one of the following (or all)

Double the flameout additions

Hold your flamout temperature at around 180 - 160 and add 1-2 ounces of your hop blend. Let them steep for about 30 minutes. You won't yield much more bitterness but you will add lots of hop flavor.

Increase your dry hop.

Add your dry hop when fermentation is at its peak. One benefit of this will allow you to bottle / keg faster and drink a fresher product.

Everybody's taste is different, but I tend to prefer hop bombs when you're in the citrus realm.
