IMO, add when you think it's safe to add them. If you used uncured LR, it'll take a little longer. If your tank seems stable, it's probably OK to start adding them slowly. Start with the cheap easy corals (I can give you some mushrooms probably).
I went really slow with my first tank using uncured live rock from a store following the usual process. Never really had any issues. The new 20G tank I have put together has wicked live rock from an existing tank and stablized really quick. I have been able to move frags over to it from my other tank and adding new ones as well at, admittedly, a rather fast pace and other than a short bout of HA when it first started, everything is happy as a clam (Even the hitchhiker clams are happy... no Tridacnas yet though). Even my pair of cleaner shrimp are mating.
