I've found that time spent on the ground is as or more important than actual breakfall techniques. I did my hundreds of hours in Feldenkrais practitioner training, but a more moderate diet of OS and Dan John's get back ups might do almost as well.
Being able to bend the knees is crucial, as is spine mobility-- it's all about lowering the weight in as controlled a way as possible. I would say more instinctual control than conscious control. So maybe add goblet squats to the above.
I remember one particularly icy winter I had been falling a lot while out walking the dog. At one point my feet shot out from under me on the ice, and as I was falling I thought about what was in each of my pockets and contorted myself so as not to land on anything pointy or break anything expensive. When that's your only concern in falling, you've reached "first world" falling status.
