Well, the first way to do a 360 off a cliff is post a thread on NS. Since you have that part down, your ready to move onto step two.

Make sure that you have 360s on lock everytime you do them. Once your to this point, simply find a small cornice (ie a drop with no kick) and try them off of there. This will give you a good feeling for what it feels like to spin without the kicking force of a jump (because it is slightly different).
Once you can do that, then take it to slightly bigger drops. You will want to hit these on softer days, which means engaging your spin will be more difficult. This will make speed and commitment imperative.
Keep in mind. Baby steps!

step out the takeoff first. i try to come around just slightly faster so that i have plenty of time to spot the landing.

pop FORWARD a bit. you don't want to end up on your back or close to it while landing. unless you're trying to spin like that of course.

Step out the take off.  Pop.  Spin.  Bring knees to chest.  Cross skis.  Grab ski. Lean forwards a little bit.   Land.

pop hard. Like way harder than you would on a jump.

while you try and stomp out the takeoff i will come by and bomb out out your nice landing zone.

speed is your friend, and definitely commit to it. Start small(ish), and then work your way up. Here's my first, off of a little like 8 footer or so.
