I learned on my fr-s as well, but I picked it up pretty quick after a day or two. You don't want to go straight from 5th, ride the clutch, and shift to 2nd though. I would practice rev matching and downshifting. So in essence, you want to go from 5th, rev match, 4th, rev match, 3rd, rev match, 2nd, take the turn. You can pick up heel toe when you're comfortable rev matching.
Personally, I'm always on the clutch a little bit when going in reverse, mainly because I'm not going fast enough in reverse to fully let the clutch out.
As for speed bumps, it depends on how much of a bump it is. Some I can take in 2nd, but others I almost come to a stop, shift down to first and get myself over. Keep in mind you should NEVER downshift to 1st unless you're practically stopped. I think the gearbox locks you out of 1st if you're moving too quickly.
