I can still engine brake, it just provides less braking power. I used to drop a single gear at a time to prevent the rear from sliding or my torso from being violently flung forward, but now I have to drop 2 gears at a time to get significant braking power (to brake, not slide or fly).

Are you not blipping the throttle while the clutch is pulled in before engaging the next lower gear? If you don't match the RPMS up, you would definitely get that jerky feeling (unless your downshifting really low below 5,000, which is usually not practical).
