Weapon skill has nothing to do with hit points in any way for any class.
When you are in cat or bear form you do not attack with your weapon so your current skill with your weapon does not matter at all. The damage on your weapon also does nothing.
So if you have two different weapons and one says 20-30 damage and the other says 5000-6000 damage, when you are in cat/bear form you will hit for the same amount with both weapons.
BUT, if the 20-30 damage weapon has +5 strength and the 5000-6000 damage weapon does have any stat bonuses on it, you will hit slightly harder with the 20-30 damage weapon.
This is what ElGran meant when he said "your weapon is a stat stick". The only property on a weapon that has any impact on your damage while in bear/cat form is the stat bonuses like +x strength or +y stamina.
