I don't think there is any harm whatsoever in airing the show in a regular annual slot. Why Moff feels the need to come abd play about with it is beyond me. I often get the feeling with him that he does things just because he can. I'd much prefer he leave DW alone and go be experimental with Sherlock instead. I can cope with the extra wait while the show moves to the Autumn but when it's there I'd like him to leave it be. When RTD was in charge it was in the same slot every year and the figures didn't die off so there obvioulsy isn't a problem. If anything, bumping it around the schedules will do more harm than good. And I definitely can't be doing with less episodes.

Going deeper though, and no fault of the Moffs at all, is that the BBC need to give it a time slot and stick to it instead of shifting it from week to week. During series 5 and 6 I don't think it aired in the time slot two weeks in a row even once. Even if it's only 5 or 10 minutes difference I find it really annoying. They would never do it with Eastenders so they shouldn't do it with DW.
