I have an IPA that was in primary for 2 weeks and secondary for 2 weeks with dry hops. Original Gravity was 1.067. Used a 2L starter with 1st reuse with East Coast Pale Ale 008 yeast. Grain bill was 12 lb Pale Malt, .75 lb 30L. .5 lb 60L and .5 lb Carapils. Fermentation initially fast but still going at a slow rate. Gravity down to 1.024. Put it in a warmer room and getting 2 or 3 bubbles per minute. Gravity went from 1.03 to 1.024 in last 2 weeks. Should I re pitch or give it a couple more days? Taste a little sweet but fine besides.
 
I would warm it up another 5 degrees if possible and check gravity every 3-5 days until stable. Sounds like it will drop a few more gravity points.
