In PvE axe spec isn't that great if you look at the long term, since swords>axes. There simply aren't any good axes in game apart from DB, EoC, Doom's, Hatchet, and they're all outclassed by swords in their respective tiers. Of course rogues will get priority on swords in most guilds, but in the end orcs won't have any advantage.
+Weapon skill has no effect in pvp except to provide a very slight Crit chance increase, you always have a 5% chance to miss another player in melee regardless of weapon skill or defense.
