I honestly can say I very rarely use my e-brake at events as I don't have enough power to barely get up to speed to initiate. I did use it a bunch at BHC when I went that one time, and that was cause I had to scrub like 30 mph for the hairpin and wasnt skilled enough to feint hard into it yet . It is however good, like Erin and martymartymarty.net said, for holding angle on a longer stretch between corners.

just practice clutch kicks, they can be your best friend.
and a manji is typically where you slide from side to side during a straight section of course. you can see an in-car example from andy in this vid:
