You've got that backwards. A faster twist is necessary for longer bullets (which are usually, though not always heavier). A slower twist will stabilize shorter bullets. For some examples, the 62gr M855 tracer is long enough that it needs the 1:7 twist to stabilize it, even though your typical 62gr plinking ammo will stabilize just fine in a 1:9 barrel.

Fragmenting bullets cannot ne compared to FMJ's. They act completly different.

Actually, many modern 5.56mm FMJs will yaw and fragment when they strike flesh. You can see examples of this in ballistics gel in the links I gave earlier in this thread.

As to yaw, my beliefs are that there's really not enough time for the bullet to yaw inside the human body.

Again, see the links above. Bullets yawing inside people is a well-documented phenomenon for both rifle and pistol bullets.
