I think in essence I do a similar process, but I don't resize until the next to last step, before a final sharpening.
Yes, layer transparency - the value can vary a bit but usually I would tweak it after the curve adjustment if need be.

I re-size sooner for web images just to speed things up a bit. Any minor differences in quality scaling later would give are thrown out with jpeg anyway. It's a different story if I'm preparing images for printing...
