It also doesn't have to be adjustable from 0 to 2.5K - for example you can 
use a high wattage fixed resistor like 
http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/riedon/UAL10-2KF8/696-1492-ND/3886624 
or http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/yageo/SQP10AJB-2K0/2.0KW-10-ND/18789
in series with a smaller variable resistor which at 500 ohms would dissipate
no more than 1.5W at 60mA.  May not provide sufficient adjustment range, but
it could at least offload the expensive part of the job to a cheaper fixed resistor.
