I'd do all the blur focus shots in camera instead of post. The reason being is that real blurring using the lens looks a lot better than post production blur options. In camera blurring allows for lights to blur into spherical orb shapes instead of the diffused 'blur everything' options you'd find in the editing software.
However, it is possible to fake a real lens blur in After Effects, Premier Pro and Photoshop by using the filter 'Lens Blur'. This emulates the effect of using a real lens to blur in post, but it takes a long time to render and it isn't perfect.
