It's about damn time...
I've been waiting for you to start back and post a journal. I'm really looking forward to reading the journal.
There are a few things that I noticed in the routine you posted. I suppose most of the same general principles apply even though you're a more advanced lifter than I am. Your volume is pretty high. You might have to cut back on a few lifts depending on how hard it is on you. Like doing barbell rows and dumbbell rows. One option if it's not working out is to do just one of the exercises at 4X8 or 5X8, and then alternate between BB and DB each week.
I just posted my new workout a week or two ago and this is one of the things that 0311 had to say:

You have incline barbell bench (which places a lot of stress on your anterior delts), then want to do military presses (which places a lot more stress on your delts). I could see maybe flat/declines followed by OHP's, but incline barbells serve the same purpose.

On Thursday you're doing 6 heavy compound movements... I normally try to do 3-4. If you're adding deads and snatches in somewhere, then you might need to replace other exercises with these. But then again, I know it's different because you're so much more advanced than me. And I know you'll be more strict with your diet than I am. I'm really curious to see what the more experienced guys have to say about it.
Best of luck to you. I know you've got your nutrition info down, so I can't wait to hear about the big gains.
