Does anybody know if BLToolkit has been tested and certified for use with Azure Sql and if it supports the dropped connection retry functionality? And if not are there any plans to get it tested and passed?

At the time of writing, there is nothing official on the BL Toolkit website, and no issues listed in their issue tracker for Azure.
There are a few other requests (e.g. here and here) that are requesting the same details. At the moment they are unanswered but you could add your weight to them.
Based on this evidence from the official sources I would say that the Toolkit is not Tested or Certified specifically for Azure use.
With the exception of the transient nature of Azure which may require handling of database reconnections, there doesn’t seem to be anything obvious that would prevent you from using the Toolkit however.
I would recommend you raise an issue with the developers regarding Azure Testing and Certification while performing a proof of concept test on Azure to determine how to best handle reconnections on Azure for your specific application.
There is recent activity on the project, so I’d be quite hopeful of a response.
