The only scenario in which switching would be worthwhile for King is the R-50, D-49 scenario where King is the deciding vote. The Republicans would probably offer him a nice deal then. If the Republicans control the senate without needing him, then sure, he'll get better committee assignments if he caucuses with the party in power, but he'd probably be better off just waiting it out and hoping democrats retake the senate in 2016. He can't get away with multiple party switches, oscillating back and forth whenever Senate control changes. Both parties would eventually just disown him.
