Change the drop down box at the top of the window to "view" instead of "local". Unless your talking about something else when you said you changed the pivot. This was just the first thing I noticed.

This was just the first thing I noticed. You are a GOD among men for noticing that.  THANK YOU! Is there a way to make it never change from there by any chance? Once I am done working in that mode I would rather not have to do that or is that something required to change when you edit the working pivot? If nothing can be done about it though, I suppose I can live with it.

I'm not sure, but I actually end up using that all the time when modeling.

If you want to rotate a face around one of its edges.
Turn on snaps, set them to snap to edges, select the face to rotate, line up the cursor with the edge and rotate.
This is the fastest and easiest way.

This is the fastest and easiest way. Only problem though is I want it to rotate around a point not defined by a vert or edge at all. that's why I needed to use the working pivot. Plus since I am plane modeling, I am doing more with just holding shift and extruding the edge in the direction rather than cloning faces.
