is it a problem getting down if you slow? as in, you won't make a restriction if you slow first? then I'd ask what ATC wants the speed or the descent.

if it isn't a problem, I'd probably go to a 500 fpm descent while I slowed, then resume either my idle descent or a 1000 fpm descent. I wouldn't go all the way to 3000 at 250 then slow, but that is just me. would be interested in hearing other opinions.

I think you'd be fine using this technique quoted above. And, as stated, if in doubt ask. Cheers!
