Oh dear now I find myself agreeing more with DB's earlier post, I would only use FTR in VMC when wanting to make control movements which would be uncomfortable or feel "unstable" any other way. I don't have much 225 time but the latter stages of a VMC approach would be typical.
In practice, I expect that I subconsciously have used a combination of all techniques at different times during a VMC approach or other VMC manoeuvre without necessarily thinking about exactly which control movement uses which technique. However, coming from types which didn't have as much wonderful automation, I found myself using it to its maximum at every opportunity when I could.
