I was planning on reraising the turn but then the action behind me heated up allowing me to get it all in on the flop. I figured I could give a cheap card with a 20 outer.

Should I have just reraised here on the flop and left the fancy play for another time?

You are almost a 2:1 favorite on the flop assuming your backdoor clubs are live.

I dislike the way you played it, though that's not the same as saying you played it BADLY - I would personally just take a different line.

I think you should raise the original better (you have a collosal hand and it can't hurt to be able to represent a boat if the board pairs). I also think you should just call after the SB re-raises. Why waste the last 10 bucks if the board pairs on the turn? It's not as if your opponent is going to get away from his hand at that point if it doesn't, so if you really want it all in you might as well wait for the turn to do so. Alternatively, if you want to put the cash in regardless of turn/river anyway you might as well wait and do it on the turn; if your opponent has a similar monster wrap he might just lay down a winning hand (anything beats your 8 high) if the board pairs. Just because you're favourite over a set and +EV to get all in doesn't mean that it's necessarily the best move! Still, a very nice hand indeed!

PS I'm not sure why JD doesn't like the idea of pushing a 12 outer into a 6 or 7 way pot!
