I wouldn't take these lessons from what happened. The most important question is: What kind of tires did you have on the car? Even AWD won't help much on black ice. It's not your car that was the problem....it was the ice, and probably your tires.
Glad to hear you are ok, though. Fix her up and get some good snow tires afterward. You'll be good to go.

.... but I thought DSC/DCT are desgined to handle this type of sitiuations which they do @ 50 mph on rain storms.
