I have no reservations going WOT out of corners and applying corrective steering as necessary but I'm not very good at sustaining slight oversteer so it's something I will work towards in future track days 
Back to real life, I currently run RCE T2 which slightly understeers with 400/400 springs (at least that's my perception of the car's behaviour). Would it be faster to get the car to oversteer through appropriate brake/throttle/steering application or should I just stick to what I'm doing until I get stiffer springs in the rear? Perhaps the first step is to approach the apex smoothly and try to oversteer out of the corner?
A good example of my current driving style can be seen in the last minute or so of this video

Your car is faster in a state of heavy understeer. You can learn to throttle steer with your car, but it'll be slower than just letting it plow.
