I thought using DFCO was more beneficial than coasting?
hmm.

It all depends on the scenario. If you only have a short distance to go, or want to drop speed over a shorter distance, then DFCO is the key. However, if there is a long way to go and/or you want to maintain as much momentum as possible then coasting is the key.
Hypermilers take it a step further and coast in neutral - with the engine off.
