Warrior doesn't add any appreciable aroma from what I'm told.

I wouldn't use any sugar. All malts.

I've seen an excellent chart on hop utilization. Your peak flavor time is about 21 mins, and the peak aroma time is about 7 mins. As I like numbers and see the pattern I also changed my bittering time to 70 mins just because.

I'm unfamiliar with Vienna so I cannot comment on the use of 2 lbs.

looks ok to me...

For the hop additions I'd do a first wort hop for your 60 minute and I'd do a hop stand for 20 minutes at 180 degrees at the end of the boil to get that chewy hop flavor in there.

Other than that, the mash temp looks good-- nice and low, so i'd take out the sugar. I think it would dry it out too much. Maybe do a 90 minute boil instead if you want a higher abv.
