Flashers, like Hot Spots or Abe and Al's should rotate in full circles. You're right, this can cause line twist sometimes. If you have tried high quality swivels and they didn't work I'd try a different flasher. What brand of flasher are you running?
Now, if you want to try dodgers (which look similar, but are actually very different) they don't rotate in full circles. They just rock back and forth and cause no line twist at all. I use more dodgers than flashers. I really like Crystal Basin's 3 inch dodgers, and Rocky Mt Tackles dodgers are great too.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. I wish I could give you a better answer about the line twist, but honestly if you're using high quality swivels... you shouldn't be getting excessive line twist.
Sorry I don't have better answers on this!
