Is this the right approach?
- Do you mute the D, G and E strings when slide over power chords?

Sounds good to me Rick ... as many ways as you can come up with is the way to go. I'm constantly experimenting, refining, chopping and changing ... the aim I think is to get both hands ready to respond instantly to anything and everything that may come their way. Conscious, deliberate practicing is the only way to get there.
I mute the G, B and E strings for those bass string power chords ... I think that's what you meant, isn't it? I leave the D string ringing, since it's part of the power chord. I assume you're talking about dropped D?
