Just googled warrior hops - 15-18%AA. I think this stuff is going to blow your head off. Was it boiling for the last 2 hours or just resting?

I am guessing the boil stopped after the last one minute addition if so it will be like doing a flameout/whirlpool addition so it will have added IBU's as it cooled but will have slowed down once it hits about 80c so it will have some extra bittering but if you like bitter beers you may be ok and it will mellow once kegged too.
I would not dry hop it as this will deffo add more bittering/perceived bittering and tip it over the edge bittering wise

Why not taste it and smell it when it's just above FG and decide then whether it warrants dry hopping

 

[The Baron]

Yes should have said taste it first aa a basic test. It would be way too bitter for me as I do not tolerate bitterness more than a standard Bitter but everybody is different so do that first

Might well be ok then. I wouldn't dry hop though - you'll have plenty of aroma/flavour from that amount of flameout addition.
