The completly broken weapon skill mechanic is one big reason I hope the Xpac gets pushed back past the holidays. It is completly overpowered for melee, screws feral druids and to a lesser extent enhancement shammys and BM hunters, and shafts a bunch of people who didn't have logs of fights against raid bosses when they were picking a character race. There is a slight AvH imbalance because swords are generally more attractive then axes.
At the same time, ranged skill serves primarly to say "this time we mean it when we say hunter weapon".
They could also do something with magical skill... and while they are at it spell penetration.
