Almost identical to mine and i'm seeing good gains. Only difference is i do my lateral raises on my legs day.

Why not just opt for a traditional Pull/Push/Legs+Abs split such as (3x 6-8 as you seem keen on a 3 set structure):

Monday: PULL

Deadlifts 3X6-8    
Barbell Rows 3X6-8
Weighted Chins 3X6-8
Barbell Curls 3X6-8 (If you really must have direct work for bi's)

Wednesday: PUSH

Flat Bench Press 3x6-8
Incline Press 3X6-8
Military Press 3X6-8
Weighted Dips 3X6-8

Friday: LEGS+ABS

Squats 3X6-8
Leg Press 3X6-8
SLDL 3X6-8

Weighted Crunches 2 X 12
Hanging Leg Raise 2 X 12

That would be more than adequate IMO.

Just few little changes and your program looks similar to mine. I prefer less squats and leg press sometimes. Other than that it's almost identical from my side.
