Theoretically it is perfect, but I'll milk a program till I do not notice progress any more. Could be a couple weeks, could be a couple months. I wouldn't go longer than 3 months. My .29 cents.

When my progress stales (im not gaining weight anymore) I take a week off from the gym. When i come back i keep my program the same because i concentrate on teh big lifts. Theres not much logic in changing out squats for leg presses or hyperextensions for deadlifts.
I say stay with your program till you cant get anymore from it, take a rest and come back strong

For mass it's best not to vary until you can't progress any longer.
I never change my whole routine at once. I think my whole routine is just constantly in change.
for major body parts (chest, back, legs) I probably do 4 different exercises, minor I do 3.
One of those exercises is pretty much always a constant, i.e. squats, bench, bent over rows, the other exercises, one of them gets rotated out every 6 weeks (or so, nothing exact).....
for example, my leg routine....
Squat,
Leg press
Leg extension
Leg curls (hams)
I just changed in Hack squats for the leg press last week, and my legs were killing me the next day, I'll do that routine for a while and will probably rotate out leg extensions for something else, and then go back and rotae out hack squats after that
