Skinning doesn't give a guaranteed skill-up with orange because, as said, it is so easy to get a lot of things to skin at once.
This caught me by surprise as well. Somewhere on these forums from years ago is a similar post I made. *smiles* I believe it’s the only exception to how all other professions work. So it is rather confusing at first. But I understand the reason for it. There are so many opportunities to practice skinning as compared to say mining or herbalism, that if Blizzard hadn’t changed the way it works players would max out their skinning far too quickly.
But as others have said, make sure your skill isn’t capped. Even after three years of playing I sill find myself doing that.
