Hints for structuring tracks for to be DJ freindly

Well yea, a nice outro is pretty ofcourse, and if you have one on your track it immediately makes it a better tune. But, (and I'm solely talking in the dnb genre now, now idea how it is in the other genres) who uses outros the mix?
Mostly, a new tune gets mixed in the first drop, in the breakdown, or in the second drop. I've never heard a tune play until the outro before a new tune gets mixed in.

Well, perhaps not so surprisingly, I do :)

Still play vinyl, on two turntables (not three) and like to do long transitions. Depends on what I'm playing, but if I'm doing early hours sets I like to mix smooth (as opposed to throwing a new RAM track into the mix every 4th bar :P).
 
Thanks to everybody for the answers, very helpful, I got into it by going to a club so I think of it that way, although at this point most of my tracks are a little off the wall and not dance floor bangers
