Good discussion. always of interest to me. my steps:
open in acr, white balance, manage whites and blacks, add clarity 10%. open in photoshop, crop to composition, apply topaz denoise (usually auto), image cleanup as necessary (always in layers), final color adjustment either in photoshop or acr, again always as layers. flatten image, save as tiff. if posting on net, resave as appropriate jpg.
will live to hear other approaches.
Your approach is pretty much what I used to do in ACR... Now, I am in ON1 and prob. overthinking this...
