The rotate tool that allow select the pivot point comes from the LM replacement tools from fazek (see Scripting forum in the sticky area).

Using bones can intimidate to some users but I swear that it would make your life more easy in terms of rotating points. If you use the rotation tool to make animated rotations you'll obtain also a scale effect during rotation. It is due to although you see the points rotating in a arc during tool manipulation they really are making a linear translation between the extreme rotation poses. If you use bones the shape is kept during all the rotation (although the rotation were so big). If you plan to use rotations of points by using the rotation tool you'll need to add a keyframe for each 15 degrees of rotations what leaves a lot of keyframes to control.
