The problem with WoW, as with many games, is that the "skill" part depends to much on luck.

You can be the most skilled player in WoW, but you will still be beaten if you have bad luck, and you might beat 5 ppl at a time with good luck. Luck is a annoying factor as you can't control it. Be happy when things go right since you will have to go through about 7 wrongs before you get one again.

However, at least these points should be filled if you want to deserve the "Skilled player" tag: Being able, and know how to, handle every situation, knowing your class, playing the class and the abilitys to the fullest! Not afraid to do "out of the box" stuff! Not afraid to waste cooldowns!
All those things and more and you will be a great player in my eye's!

WoW, however, is also a gear dependent game, so beating better geared opponents is also a factor, but then again we have the class VS class issues... Mage vs Warrior and such..

So you see, beeing skilled in WoW is a matter of the taste, skill and what the person thinks a skilled player can do.
If a player sucks, there is little effort needed to persuade a person to say you are skilled. If a player is better than you, that person will have problems calling you equally skilled.

blablabla...jj
