However, i think that saying elemental release + a Byakugan technique is only useful for Rotation is far too limited in imagination. For a fairly awesome ability (emitting chakra all over your body) it is horribly underused and underdeveloped. With the Buyakugan you could basically fight like a Bender from Avatar, shooting the elements from any limb, throwing up elemental shields that block whatever you want or pull a Raikage and cloak your body in an element. Rotation is such a basic skill compared to the out-of-whack stuff you could pull off with the Byakugan.

it's perception is beyond the Sharingan, and if you check what the Sharingan can already do, well it gets into the realm of the ridiculous. With 360 vision you have neither a true blind spot, nor do you have to face your opponent to see what he's doing. You could perform hand signs behind your back, something the Sharingan can't counteract. You wouldn't need to fumble about as you could literally see the signs you're weaving so it won't even require much practice. With the Tenketsu ability you could launch attacks from any part of your body, making the book on "how to tell what ability the enemy is using" completely useless against the Byakugan. Breath attack? Surprise i shoot fireballs with my foot.

The Tenseigan's Chakra Cloak seems to be the logical extreme of Rotation, but from a practical perspective it's nothing a Byakugan user can't do. It may not always be the best thing to use, and it won't grant you Tenseigan powers, but Rotation is basically a Chakra Cloak -lite.
