Lowering collective prevents further Nr decay - flaring and/or rolling into a turn loads the disc and helps recover lost rpm. In an ideal world lower the lever and flare.

But, as hihover says, moving the cyclic aft if you are only at 30 kts will just take you further away from your normal autorotation speed and reduce the likelihood of you making a safe EOL.
