Its better to step down gears one by one until you're in the right one. then apply throttle. Or if you're in a manual you can go 6th to 3rd with a rev match... and THEN apply throttle.
going from 1500 rpm to 5000rpm in a split second and hitting your trans with all that torque usually isn't a good thing.

Not so.
It is also possible to do a skip gear downshift by simply clicking the downshift paddle in rapid succession. The DCT does a nice rev matched downshift directly to the selected gear. If this causes a spun crank hub, then so would revving the engine in neutral.
