I just conditioned a NE IPA and it is beautiful, smells great, taste good to start, but then there is a burn from what I believe is some fine hop particles that made it through the hop sack (I double hop sacked the SS racking cane for transfer). I am hesitant to add gelatin, because I don't want to lose the haze. Thoughts?

I would just give it a few days. The fines will drop out relatively quickly in my experience.
 
Probably a little green, that sharp hop flavor will mellow after a few days to a week or so. And as ong said, the particulate will drop out too.

Jon Kimmich of the Alchemist has a theory that most hoppy beers don't hit their stride until 10 to 14 days after they've been packaged. I have definitely noticed this with my own beers.
