Rotate groups of points from an arbitrary rotation point?

I am trying to create different mouth positions from a side view. I would like to be able to select a group of points making up the jaw and rotate them from the jaw hinge point, however, it seems I can only rotate from the center of this grouping.

Is there a way to do this? I had some modified tools in AS 6 that would do this, but they don't work in 8.

I could be wrong but was there a 7feet script which did this?

EDIT Nope it's a Fazek pack... hang on...

"Rotate points You can replace the rotation center, and it is possible to use the center of gravity of the selection (useful for regular shapes). It is possible to translate and to scale the points with modifier keys. You can rotate by a specified angle number. It works even for bones."

Yeah, Fazek's tools, but I couldn't find a version for AS8.

I'd also like to:

Be able to select a group of objects and resize them from their individual center points.

Clone and move objects a specific distance apart from each other, like an array.

Create clones that inherit any shape changes to the original

Create text blocks that are the same size, and be able to edit the size globally later.

Ew. Doesn't work in 8? Sorry. I haven't tried them.

How embarassment

Those were great tools. Too bad they don't work now. I may go back to version 6 to create things.
