No negatives in rotating too often I can think of other than it being a PIA.
On mud tires and aggressive patterned all terrain tires I would try to rotate every 5-6000 miles especially if you do a lot of in-town driving.
With tires that wear forever like Michelin LtX M/S on 2wd trucks and driven a lot on the highways you can get away with rotating half that often with no ill affects.
On my last truck I had a set of Michelin A/T's and rotated about every 20,000 miles and they wore pretty evenly all the way through 60,000 miles. I got rid of that truck and the guy that bought it thought they were fairly new tires. I never told him any differently. They still had around 8/32" of tread left.

I had a set of Mud T/A's that got feathered and it didn't matter which way I turned them or which corner of the truck I stuck them on, they were horrible and I absolutely could not get them to wear properly again. They about beat the **** out of my truck before I could get rid of them. I guestimated I had 20,000+ miles left in them (tread wise), but I just couldn't take it any more.
