The technique is not limited to Dragon's Breath + Blast Wave. Any ability (eg blind, fear) and knockback will do much the same thing.
Knowing the exact places this works is more complex. Terrain can be tested by attempting to cast a reticle ability (eg mage flamestrike, hunter volley, death knight death & decay) through rock or other hollow object. If you can successfully cast through a hollow object successfully and the terrain in question has no floor you have an opportunity.
Note that even without specific knowledge of a glitch point, the combination of abilities has a (small) chance to randomly glitch a player through the ground, in itself this is worthy of consideration.
Successfully executed this is an automatic win in arena and will usually be decisive in a rated battleground.
