I know on the basic / standard tiers it is recommended, was just wondering if the premium service tier offer a superior service which negates the need for transient fault handling?

Why would there be? No matter the tier you are still making calls where temporary conditions such as intermittent service, infrastructure-level faults, or network issues may occur. This is not exclusively a problem with SQL Azure. If you use Cache, Storage, Service Bus or any other service you are still subjected to this scenario.
