I just wonder about frequently of upstream releases (as I say before around one in week). Is it normal update it in rawhide each time?
About ABI breakage there separate problem in ImageMagick - http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org/msg736218.html So, upstream is not carefully there and I never can't guarantee what there no ABI breakage in any update...

mentioned in the above link. I would say, rebuilding 30(?) packages every other week just for an ImageMagick update would be impractical, even if it is done in rawhide only. If you are not comfortable with detecting the ABI breakage, or if you can't dedicate enough time, I recommend to update every 2-3 months.
+1, Keeping a careful look at changes they introduce with each release and whether it is really worth the hassle.
