Why spend skill points on HH and WA?

The stats you get for investing in either of those skills is so little, considering you have to level 4 times just to earn one skill point. (In 4 levels i could gain +20% AC or +4 AD)
WA: 12% AC
HH: +2 AD

I'd rather spend them on:

Evasion
Regeneration / Corpse Eater
Any Proficiency skill (Max it out right away for the best benefits!)
Fighting Style
Combat Speed

The honest truth: I don't use the skills on my builds usually, I will spend them on Combat Speed and Increased Fortitude (as it become available) but i don't spend them on other skills. Using the Skills makes the game too easy for me so i opted to not use them to make it more challenging.

There is no saying if one is better than the other, they are both very effective builds that do exactly what you designed them to do.

I hate this phrase but it fits: There is more than one way to skin a cat (Poor kitty kitty :( )

Because at some point, you have all those other skills :P

I've spent 5 points so far towards Cleave that I could've spent elsewhere. I could've picked up Evasion (4) (one skill point) or Corpse Eater (2) (one skill point).... and that's it. Those are the only other skills that interest me at this point. I suppose I could've taken 3 more points in Increased Fortitude but that's not what my build is geared towards. If I'm getting hit then I'm doing it wrong.

In other words, beyond the 2 skill points I mentioned, HH and WA really are the best options available for me - and even though the stats gained seem a little low, the design of my build causes their value to be elevated considerably.
