I tried a similar thing in the past, but not this exact Teknique. I used a
transparent plane with several averaged normals via a texture map. I can't
remember how it turned out, only that it took for frickin' ever, and there
wasn't the benefit of specular highlights...

Your method looks pretty good! It's actually quite natural, at least where you
can't see the flare from the light directly.
