All Boeing 737 models do not have fuel dump capability. They can land at their maximum takeoff weight.

I don't know about it circling for an hour though. With one engine out on a 2 engine aircraft, you land as soon as possible...Even if the aircraft is at or near its maximum weight. You don't spend time on one engine circling around just to burn off a little bit of fuel prior to landing.
