This is correct. The worst thing you can do to your clutch is to feather it. Dump it to prevent additional wear.

3k seems to be the best launch RPM speed (for me) to avoid too much wheel spin.

I dump from about 3k and get nothing but spin and hopppppppp.

I find it better to rev up slightly(1500-2000rpm), and let out slower on the clutch then full throttle right after it hooks. You won't get the best 60ft times that way but it will help from burning your tires through the gears. This is with stock RE050As of course... I'm sure you could change the compound and raise the rpm up.
