Assuming it's not a crazy steep hill, all you need to do is let out the clutch enough to 'bog' the motor a fraction (on the EB the ECU will actually add fuel to keep from stalling) and that will hold the car long enough for you to switch from brake to gas. On steeper hills one just uses the emergency brake to hold the car and as soon as the clutch is partially engaged, just let go the hand brake.It never fails some dumbass on a hill at the red light will pull up right behind you and be about 3" off your rear bumper.
If you don't have the techniques down pat, go find a place to practice an essential driving skill.
If "engagement" is what you're looking for a paddle-shift car is probably not what the doctor ordered. But if your traffic and usage are not conducive to MT, then it probably doesn't matter that the car only comes in DCT.
