As it can only be used if your starting speed is 20-35 mph (in Classic), that would make it a D2 to D4 manoeuvre. which actually makes it much safer than ordinary deceleration (D2 to D7).

I think it makes sense for the control roll to be made at the start of the manoeuvre as that is when it is most likely that control will be lost. Once you are skidding to a halt, you are much less likely to lose control.
I think you're thinking of the bootlegger reverse. The T-Stop can be attempted at any speed.
