Regarding fuel dump - you can't use it to reduce weight until after you've got Vtoss and the initial climb going. Check Part 29 and the Advisory Circular - it's a secondary control, and as such can't be used for performance purposes for determining all the necessary things until after you're safely climbing.
Also probably not a good idea to be trying to do it in what will be a pretty busy time anyway.
