Here are two videos I've made for anyone wanting to make and animate eyes. It basically shows the whole process I do when making eyes for characters now. The reason I use masking and bone layers is so that I can use the same eyes and on different characters by swapping the heads contained in a switch layer. The creation process is the first video which takes about 7 and a half minutes and the animation process shown in the second video is about 5 minutes of creating key frames with bones. You'll also notice I create all of the animation on one eye and then copy, paste and flip it at the end to create the other eye. After that, I use a little tweaking of the keyframes to make it look right. Let me know what you guys think......if anybody watches it that is! LOL!

I found your technique interesting and I bookmarked this topic. Thank you for sharing.

just wanted to say this technique is awesome. I won't be using it with bones, but it can be used within eye shape switch layers as well, and layer translation for the iris pairs awesome!
