A couple of points to add.

They wanted the aircraft back in Manchester as that was where the 767 was waiting to take the passengers to Florida.

The extended holding time was to BURN the fuel, not to dump it.

According to the Aviation Herald and other sources, the electrical problem that the aircraft had meant that the fuel dumping system was not available.
