I actually circular breathe regularly! I will say, though, it's more of a fancy trick that I use sometimes. Some people use it regularly, but since it's actually rather difficult to learn to do properly, on clarinet, I just use it for slow, lyrical passages, or, in a pinch, on a faster lick, but only as a last resort for the latter case. I actually had an easy time learning the technique, but a much harder time actually implementing it, and and even harder time learning to implement it regularly. If you do it incorrectly, you'll achieve the desired "playing non-stop" effect, but you will put a serious dent in your intonation, and it'll send you very, very flat.
I actually learned from Terry Ewell's videos; he's a fantastic bassoonist, but all you have to do is watch what he does, and apply it to clarinet.
