I try not to use alot of weightmaps... from what ive seen, it's best not to use them around shoulder area as it gives better deformation.

Ive also found that 'helper' bones also give more control as well, although im not sure of how to properly set them up.

Also a collar bone and a shoulder blade bone are supposed to help the rotation as in real anatomy....

aaaaand....of course it could always be the geometry of the shoulder thats causing the problem, although ive been told by a few people that the geometry is ok. DOOOH!
