One of many fundamentals I was taught by a pro race driver was to put the car into the proper gear BEFORE entering a corner--this includes clutch depression. I'm not saying what you are doing is necessarily wrong, just not what I learned and not my style. I would think using trailing-throttle oversteer would rotate the car more than simply depressing the clutch.

No, you're way off base. I am simply saying hat if you brake really hard out of gear, the car wants to rotate more, like in a straight line. Loss of engine braking does that since the brake bias effectively changes as a result.
Same idea as if you go through a corner that you could be in 2nd gear for in 3rd, you will push like crazy because the weight isn't being put on the front wheels from the engine braking.
