MrMalty said 2.8 for 5.75 gallons of 1.068 wort. Got down to 1.010 like I wanted so I'm good with it.
I'm using 1 vial of WLP Irish Ale with yeast starter for my stout. OG is 1.068-1.07 for 5.5 gallons. However, my mash will be at 154 degrees, and i expect to finish at 1.028 - 1.02. Leaving me at about 6.8-7% ABV.
I've only ever double pitched for my 9.2% ABV Oak Aged Bourbon stout.

Depending on your starter, you probably had more viable yeast in your starter than your double pitch. The yeast smack packs and vials don't have nearly enough yeast to healthily ferment anything over 1050 individually. But its not like throwing 2 in vials brings that number up to 1100. Without a starter you are going to get a fairly long lag time using liquid yeast for big beers.
