just kidding, good on you Blue 
The thread ain't about coming to a stop (obviously you'd pull the clutch in for that, doh) the topic is about controlled decent, which won't be very controlled with the clutch in.
Depends how slow you want to go.
I like this type of thread
Keep your weight back then apply the rear brake with your heel? That's a great balancing act - top marks!

I concluded that each scenario is different as it all depends on the terrain, your tyres, your skills and how brave you are

And there, ladies and gentlemen, is the truth! I purposely haven't joined in this thread until now, for similar reasons that some who have, now wish they hadn't! Teaching someone riding skills over the Internet is as easy as herding cats. Some advice will work for you, some will not. Some techniques will work for you, some will not. The correct technique, incorrectly applied, or misunderstood, will not work. All these variables are hard enough to convey when stood at the side of someone, on the bike they're riding, on the surface their struggling with, and looking down the hill they're scared of, but at least there is a tangible experience there to learn from. Words on a page don't cut it in this scenario. If you can remember half of them when the crunch comes, you'll be lucky.
All in my humble opinion, obviously.
