It sounds like OP hydroplaned. If OP states he had traction control on. There is in hell no way you would spin out. I have tried seeing how my car would drift with TC on and TC off, of course in an open parking lot (Inland Empire has warehouses), only to have traction control stop me. You can feel the brakes pumping to stop you from drifting.

If OP hydroplaned then in fact TC is useless you are at the mercy of the wet road not much you can do from there. I guess it was when you counter steered you started regaining control and your TC was kicking in.
