It sounds like you want to roster churn and its not within the spirit of FBB. The spirit is normally to give the feel of real life baseball as much as possible.
By that you mean picking up pitchers and dropping them to waivers so no one can get them for a few days?
Completely unethical and can cause you to lose league privilidges at several sites including Yahoo. I would not recommend trying it.

If I had reached my innings cap in my NL-only league and a star pitcher was traded to the NL from the AL, I would certainly use a waiver priority to pick him up so that other owners could not use him.
Similarly if I pitcher that I liked for the 2nd half was a FA, I would pick him up before one of my competitors thought about it.
Unless you plan to try to invoke chaos on the waiver wire (as mentioned previously), I do not see any problem with your strategy.
No I mean actually picking up pitchers and keeping them on the roster e.g. Mr Hot even though their stats do not count, not roster churning. Basically the same as keeping your existing pitchers on the roster once you IP has finished i suppose?
I probably wont blow my IP by too much but some in our league are quite a bit over.

Yeah, that is much different than roster churning, I don't see any problem with that at all. It's a very good strategy to use. It can also net trade offers from owners needing to make up innings.

If thats the case, I see nothing wrong with it. There is no rule that says you should drop your pitchers after your limit is up. It would be stupid to drop them strategically.

Nah, that's fine. Most people do that once they burn up their innings. No problems with that.
As long as it's not the churning thing.
