One mistake I made (initially) was trying to heel-toe while gently braking to decelerate - that is much harder to modulate (at least initially).
Just make sure you have lots of room to recover/stop safely if it goes sour (empty big-box parking lots are fantastic - watchout for curbs and shopping carts)
One downside: Having since gotten the hang of it, I now find myself heel-toeing all my right turns. My gas consumption has suffered significantly.

true if you use stock pedal. added the cusco pedal now i can heel toe under any braking condition. hence i been heel toeing a lot on the street.
as for when to clutch in when braking. i usually don't unless it a emergency braking situation where the car must be stop asap than i press both the brake and the clutch.
let say i see a red light up ahead. what i do is brake the slow down, when i am almost to the red light i clutch in a put the car in neutral. you shouldn't need to clutch in all the way to the stop light
i'm only 5 months into driving manual though so would appreciate input too
