Ive got 3 gallons of dragon blood on at the minute, racked to 3 dj's. My plan is to let them age for 4/6 months. Would I be best to degass them a couple of times for a week or just let them alone and see if the degass themselves? I am NOT in any rush to bottle...

You should always degass sooner than later. Excess CO2 will hold sediment in suspension longer which could drop out after bottling.
Degassing after a racking then let it rest. No need to expose wine to air more than necessary.
