Okay, for muscle mass in the biceps, I do dumbbell curls. At the moment I am doing dumbbell curls with a 28 lbs dumbbell till failure (usually 6-8 reps)
How many sets should I do?? How much rest in between each set also?
Thank you.

well, for muscle mass, you should be doing 3-5 reps for 5 sets. So, move up the weight until you can barely do 3 reps and your set!
biceps are a fast twitch muscle that helps with pulling things toward the torso. as such they should be exercised in a way that facilitates those movements and the corresponding bodyparts and muscles..
i do push day and pull day whereas pull day is biceps, posterior deltoids, lats, traps, and rhomboids.
so if you're working your lats, and upper back the same day, you're going to hit the biceps in more ways than they are currently being hit and also facilitate necessary growth in the back and shoulders.
i would recommend 3-4 sets for biceps alone and then 3-4 sets for each other exercise like shrugs, dumbbell rows, lat pulldowns and dont exercise those bodyparts for another 3 days no matter what.. overtraining MAKES YOU SHRINK..
