You're thinking of higher weapon skill effecting the amount of skill gained. For instance, skill 1 needs 100 skill points for the next skill. An orc give 200 skill points, but each skill caps the amount of skill gained depending on 1-5, 5-9, 10-14, 15-20, 21-28, 29-30, 30+. So skill 1 can gain only 10% of a skill, max. So, you gain 10 skill points per kill. Skill 2 requires 200 skill points to level, but it's still capped at 10% still, which is 20. Skill 3 requires 400, 10% is 40. 4 is 800, which is 80. 5 is 1600, but cap is changed to 1% per kill or so. You get, 16 points per kill.
So, after all that, what I'm trying to say is that each crit is worth a certain amount of skill points. When you kill it, you gain that much skill, but higher skills seem to get less skill because it takes more skill points to level.
You can go to n-1 on a lvl 55 barb and you'll get the same skill for a skill 1 weapon, as you will with a lvl 1 barb at skill 1 weapon.
You'll never win... PLEAD INSANITY!
