Can we have some more info about the beer? 

Is it All Grain? What was the grist? Also, you say it was bittered with Pacifica - is that the only hop that you used throughout the boil? Did you do any late additions or use any other hop?

Definitely Dry Hop it...but with what may depend on the other ingredients used in the Brew. 

What have you got on hand, aside from the Wakatu and Sauvin? You are suggesting a dry hop of just over 3g/L which is a good amount, but you could go more depending on other factors as mentioned.

Im a fan of Sauvin in any aspect of Hop usage, but it can be over-powering if over-used or with the wrong hop...

I recently did an all Sauvin Golden Ale that was dry hopped with 100g of flowers and it was awesome.
