Just as Eidi Kakuno says, it's great for warm ups and sync. But also try running through them with different rhythm's i'e triplets or syncopated 16th notes. It then means you practice 2 techniques in 1.

You could try silicon spray, you can buy it from Maplins. It's good for clearing dust etc.. Alternativley if the pots are old it might be that the solder joints have become 'dry'. If the spray doesn't do it, it may be worth re-soldering the connections.

On the Floyd Rose trem, the string end sits in a channel and when you tighten the allan key head screw a square block pushes up against the string to keep it in place. If this square block is pitted or doesn't get enough pressure applied the string will come out. If the trem is old and you think it could do with some new parts, then these can be bought. I'm guessing as it's only the b string that is doing this, then the block or screw to that string is worn. You can take the block out with a pair of tweesers to see if it's worn.

As well as the string bend it's also important to decide whether or not you will add vibrato to the bend. It is also a technique worth practising. Top players are known for their vibrato whether fast or slow and you can usually recognise a player by their vibrato, i.e Gary Moore, Slash, BB King etc..
