I use the hop rocket in two ways, on the hot side of the recirculate the 80C wort through it, then put it on the cold side of the CFC to filter the wort as it's transferred into the fermenter.
Very handy for atypical additions such as elderflower. Easier than taking the lid off the boiler with the condenser on and refitting and stops the immediate pump blockage that occurred when I lobbed the elderflower in freestyle.
 
Have you thought about a hop rocket/ missile or hop back ?
I find that I get extra flavour and aroma from the hops without any hops left in the kettle plus the fact it does filter the wort to some extent as well.
Just a thought
This note is from the Kegland site:

Please Note:
When using pellet hops, or if you have a large amount of trub and debris it may compact and impede the flow of the Hop Missile. To help prevent this, installing a pre-filter in your pot is recommended to prevent excessive quantities of material from entering the hopback. We also highly recommend using rice hulls in combination with hop pellets to aid in wort passing through the Hop Missile.


TMM HopRocket, spec: capicity is 85g (3oz) for whole hops only (or 113g with extra insert).
So it wouldn't cope with the hop amount in some recipes, even if the hops needed were available whole.
