Hi Hara,
A friend has drilled shallow holes in his live rock and joined the rock pieces with plastic doweling. (Actually he used measured and cut pieces of mini blind rods.) As a further means to secure his reef, he used black strapping strips placed around pieces.
I have never tried to join rock pieces in either of my reefs as I have had no problem with the reef teetering. I do use foundation pieces.

Hara,
When aquascaping I try to place the rocks in such a manor that they kind of lock eachother in place but still allow water and fish to flow or swim thru them.
I place the rocks are the largest on the bottom and then work my way up selecting smaller and smaller rocks. I place the rocks on or between the other rocks. Usually i move the rocks or rock them back and forth and if I feel they are stable enough that a crew of hermits wont push them around I am satisified.
I suggest use playing with the rocks and trying them in different configurations at differnt angles. You should find a combo where they interlock but at the same time provide plenty of caves and hiding spots and at the same time allow good water current.
