Flying powersettings is poor technique btw, you should be targeting an airspeed. Who the heck cares what the power is set to?
I would say his using the rudder for corrections is a bad technique to. Yea it works, but it is sloppy and can make you pax sea-sick with all that side to side motion.
You won't notice it too much in a 172, but if you fly a bigger aircraft the more movement you will get as you move farther from the CG.
Just use small coordinated control movements, it isnt that difficult.
Using a powesetting to get you somehwere near the descent rate and then fine tuning it to get what you want is pretty standard i thought
