Sounds like you have it right. I have the same set up as you and went through exactly the same process, calling the "Dove" man to clarify the confusion. I wrote down his instructions and compared my old notes against what you have listed and it is a match.
I did find that after mounting the rockers the end stands invaded the valve cover gasket area on the heads and had to mill a very small amount of the end stand to create the proper fit. I also exchanged the end stand bolts for a modified stud version thus maintaining the same fastener configuration and hopefully a more uniform torque set through out the length of the rocker shaft. The inner springs were also left out for initial startup/break in as well. Any other questions feel free to PM me.

Here are a few pictures...
