You can also rotate between Solo mining and Pools.

Like going to work every day and buying lottery tickets  Grin

What's the reason for rotating every 15 mins between pools?  Can you get more income that way because you're increasing the pools giving you BTC?  Or does it just decrease variance?

Decreases variance.  Better solution would be to have the miners stay on different pools with backups.  Jumping around PPLNS pools leads to more variance.
