I would like to be more adept and confident / comfortable at it, with the RWD car, and possibly AWD in time.

hmm...........that's really to match revs on a downshift.....the technique was originally a tool for cars with gearboxes that lacked synchros....when u say 'keeps the car settled', what exactly do you mean?

imo you need to release the clutch in neutral ie double-declutch downshift. Releasing the clutch in neutral reconnects the engine and drivetrain, and alows them to match speeds when you blip the throttle
sequence is brake > clutch in > neutral > release clutch > blip throttle while still on brakes > clutch in > select lower gear > clutch out > fyahz
