I know it's supposed to be hazy/cloudy...doesn't that come from the yeast? If I'm not mistaken, whirlfloc helps remove hot and cold break, and other trub material, but doesn't affect yeast haze. Am I right? In any case, should whirlfloc be used in a Dunkelweizen or any other German wheat beer?
 
I use it in my wheats without negative effects. I believe your theory is correct in regards to whirlfloc helping with the removal of break matter while the hefe haze should come from yeast.
