I recently read somewhere that if you introduce too many late addition hops, you get too much of a grassy/muddled flavor.

In my experience, a large variety of hops in late additions can give you an indistinguishable/muddled hop profile more so than the actual amount (weight) of hop used.

My last IPA I used three citrus/tropical hops in the WP/DH and it was a one dimensional fruit bomb, which was expected.

The DIPA I brewed for Brew at the Zoo I used 5 varieties at WP/DH and while it's extremely hoppy, it's difficult to pick out a dominate characteristic.
