Really? I've been playing WoW since release and I've never heard that before. My experience however doesn't align with that statement. I'll have to research it.
Hmmm, i'll try to find where I read that, but I'm certain about the weapon skill.

Edit:

Weapon skills are maxed in pvp combat. While this means leveling a weapon for pvp is unimportant, racial attribrutes, talents, and weapons with +skill still affect pvp hit/crit rating. Many players, however, see the +skill in PvP as unimportant and you will still see many Orcs with PvP reward weapons besides the Axes.
Edit 2:

I found this thread asking the very question. Would be nice to see if anyone can give a definitive answer.
