To much volume cut in half and you will be fine. Either drop the reps or the sets.

Well you may not being listening to me per say, but in the end it does sound like we had the same idea.

I think you should incorporate some lower trap and rhomboid work. I have started doing reverse flyes and they feel excellent.

Not only are they good for building the upper back (reverse flyes, or bent over laterals), they also help increase your bench.
