I use --oneshot, when the compilation of a package breks, which is a dependency of a package, that I want. Suppose, I want "a" and "a" needs "b". Now "b" breaks. I fix it, so that "b" can be compiled. Then I'd do "emerge -1 b". Another case, which hit me just recently: "a" needs "b", but it needs "b" to be compiled with a specific flag. Now "b" is already installed, but "a" can't get installed. In this case, I'd modify my package.use for package "b" and again do a "emerge -1 b".
