Aiming isn't the only thing you need reflexes for. Targeting accuracy is not such a large issue, although if you get into crazy enough arena fights it can be. You don't have to "aim" your weapon/spell/whatever, but you do have to pick a target, and that can be a nontrivial decision that has to be made in a split second.
"Primary" skills is difficult to define. Most skills are on cooldowns, yes. But especially for PvP, spell interrupts are incredibly important, and they're off the global cooldown - you either hit it at the right time, or you don't. Very skilled players do fakeouts to get their opponents to try to interrupt at the wrong time, and so on. Movement is also not on any kind of cooldown, and if you're not changing your position constantly when fighting a melee DPS, or reacting with split-second timing to incoming raid damage, you're going to get splattered.
