While druid animal forms utilize the skill for whatever weapon you happen to have equipped as a caster, they don't actually award you any skill for using it. This is part of the reason why feral druids are whiny (failure to cap weaponskill == missing == pain).
Honestly, I'm personally of the opinion that the miss streak thing is blown out of proportion. I rarely miss more than twice consecutively, fighting yellow mobs, and the missrate I do have is easily chalked up to coincidence. Currently, I have effectively +1 level worth of weaponskill due to being a human using a mace, and +1% to hit from the Blackstone Ring off of Princess Theradras. I don't dual-wield, though, which seems to be the major source of complaints for a lot of people.
