I usualy brew from extract (DME), occassonally do steeping grains,
after boiling I generally strain off my hop debris (trub) and simply
do a primary in a plastic bucket, bottle and drink. Switching to a
conical fermenter with a bottom dump, how should I change my
technique?

As far as I know, you should be able to just transfer wort straight from the
boil kettle to the conical, wait the time period for primary fermentation
and use the bottom dump valve to drop any & all sediment allowing you to go
straight to secondary fermentation. This would save you the time and
trouble of straining the trub.
