I think I've been misunderstood.

I don't do either slips or d&d before the MAP. I descend 1000 FPM @ 90
knots, leveling before the MAP. That's 1700 RPM w/ 1 notch in my
Sundowner, don't have it nailed yet in the 182. 90 knots all the way,
controlling descent with throttle, no dive and drive.

I'm talking once you are at the MAP, doing 90 knots, a slip can be handy.

Never had the need to slip (at least
at my own airport) since I am at MDA well before MAP.

Same here...
