Delts
I do this movement where I place my chest whilst in a standing position on the top of incline bench (not laying on it but standing behind it)
This is great for rear delts, but is getting old and uncomfortable.
I also do DB row from time to time.
They have a upper back machine but its rigered and shit, so I stopped using it. they dont have a reverse pec deck which sucks.
What other methods can I use to really isolate my rear delts????

Traps
I dont do shrugs or upright rows, my traps are in good proportion to the rest of me for now. but I was wondering if by not doing them I am loosing out on any strength I could be using for other movements. The only thing I can think of is maybe Deads.
Anyone???
 
You could try cables for rear delts. Get onm all fours and pull the cableunder you. This is good for stretching the delt as well.

thats a good one.
I hav tried somthing similer but stnding bent over, I felt like I was doing more of a ab workout. maybe being on my knees will eliminate that a bit.

To mix it up at the you could also do a reverse bent over dumbbell flye.

Edit: I think scooby a little too bent over in this exercise, I normally go about 45°
 
It helps if you don't have a teree in the way LOL. Also you should bend your elbows slightly.
 
I put a bench under 2 cable machines facing each other, cross them, and do flys lying down on my back. They're the same as chest flys, except you're pulling the weight down.

The key with doing it bent over is to really get your mind into the muscle and lower the weight. I badly needed to build up my delts and i credit this excercise with getting me in proportion. I love it.
