I agree with Joe. Using the method he describes is the way I perform "The Bump". As far as increased wear, it is negligible, as you are only *just* touching the plate to the flywheel to give it a turn. In fact, one could argue that you are saving wear on the plate and flywheel, depending on whether you would have shifted during the coast or not, as with "normal" driving.
