Is dry hopping needed when using FWH and whirpool/late hopping?

Is dry hopping needed for intense hop beer style like some APA or IPA when using both mentionned techniques?

For me? Yes. FWH gives you bitterness and whirlpooling gives you a slight bitterness and some aroma. But for that pure hop smell and "hop taste", you need to dry hop. Fermentation just plays havoc with that.....Just my opinion.

I definitely notice a lot more aroma with a whirlpool than just late boil hops, but still feel a dry hop is needed. Can use less hops though for the dry hop.
