This is appropriate in some rain conditions, but in general, I prefer to trail brake into turns, then coast through them. Also, on a steep curvy descent, if you coast through a curve, you might accelerate so much going through it that you end up going too fast. You might have to go into the turn slow enough that you can brake through the entire thing -- and still be on the edge of sliding out.
