I am not anywhere close to being an authority on room treatments but I would be concerned about overdamping by using Roxul rock wool on all the walls and ceiling. 2" Roxul will absorb the mid bass and upwards but has limited effectiveness below 125Hz so you may end up with a dead room that still has bass resonances. You may want to take look over at the Acoustic Circle forum on AudioCircle to get some ideas and guidance.

Neolith. Thanks for your post. To confirm I mean I am using sound proofing behind the drywall on all 5 sides of the room. Are you assuming I am using the sound proofing on the surface of the drywall inside the room?
I figure you meant as insulation behind the dry wall. I think Roxul in the ceiling will be great to help isolate the rest of the home from your raucous carrying-ons in the man cave :) but it might be too much in all the walls. I think I read once about alternating the spaces between the studs but I would not swear to this.
Sounds reasonable to me. But what do I know?
Too much is never enough
