Make it more interesting.
From what I see here - most people list skills from 1-3 professions.
What about listing 1 skill from each profession which they think is great?
I'll try:
1. Warrior - Devastating Hammer cause it's fun in pvp.
2. Monk - SoA.
3. Ranger - I liked Burning Arrow
Didn't play ranger much.
4. Dervish - Wounding Strike.
5. Sin - DEATH BLOSSOM.
6. Necro - didn't play much necro so I'll go with either SS or Discord.
7. Paragon - never played this prof ^^ so I've got nothing on it.
8. Ritualist - played a little. didn't like it very much but I liked the lifestealing from Vengeful Weapon, Weapon of Remedy etc...
9. Mesmer - Just realized I never really played quite a lot of proffessions ^^"
10. Elementalist - I played before I had the chance to get SF and I like Blinding Surge better for my heroes in HM
oh and most awesome common skill for me is either Asuran Scan, Finish Him or You move like a dwarf.

Healing breeze anyone 
surely its good....even though theres much better skills.
Looking at old versions Ritual Lord used to be pretty effective but now Signet of Spirits owns most for a ritualist.
Mesmer i would go conjure phantasm, ever since the rogue bull quest i've loved this one.

So after reading this thread I've come to this conclusion. No one really knows what the top 10 is...everyone has a different opinion. The only real constant is Prot Spirit. That's it!

Signet of Lost Souls is by far my most used Necro skill, I never leave home without it.

There are certain skills I have fond memories of both I can't list in the top 10. Back when GW first came out, I used to love backfiring Hydras in the desert only to meteor storm them after. It used to be really fulfilling to turn the tables on a enemy that, at the time, was considered a devastating opponent.

Four pages of this and no one has mentioned the pre-nerf Siphon Speed? It was probably the best non-elite skill ever.

A lot of these lists are bad IMO. Here is my list (not including Rez Sig or PvE-Only skills because those don't count IMO).
10. Parasitic Bond (The only necro skill I thought was worthy. Represents every hex build.)
9. Evicerate (One of the best axe skills. Was used in old iway.)
8. Diversion (One of the best designed skills they made. Pure mesmer skill.)
7. Gale (The old version was nuts and was ran on all warriors and casters. The new version is still solid.)
6. Word of Healing (The old version was good and run in Halls. The new version is the best healing skill in the game.)
5. Distracting Shot (One of the best ranger skills in the game. Has stood the test of time as the defining interrupt skill.)
4. Prot Spirit (This thing is used all over PvE and PvP for various reasons since the beginning of the game until now.)
3. Meteor Shower (This could be #1 if this list were judged solely by game impact. Contributed largely to both a major PvE nerf and a major PvP change.)
2. Frenzy (Could be the best skill they ever designed. Rewards warriors who know what they are doing and has been run since the beginning.)
1. Reversal of Fortune (Monks are the most important class in the game. This skill is the bread and butter of protection. I don't see how you can't include this skill.)
