Rocky, you are describing exactly what I do.  When turning I NEVER let go 
of the wheel but rather will keep the motion smooth with one hand 
delivering the wheel to the other hand. For example turning left I will 
preset my left hand to about 11 and my right hand to 5 and then when my 
hands are moving through 9 and 3 I will release the left hand and continue 
to rotate the wheel with the right hand and reposition the left hand 11 and 
take over the rotation while moving the right hand back to 5.  The motion 
stays constant.

Of course if there is a quick left/right combination turn I may not shuffle 
steer at all.  Regardless I will preposition (or not) based on what is 
coming up.

What you describe would be the classic style of Donohue or Bondurant.
