Before I post, I couldn't care less about rep so this ain't a post to try and boost rep points, its simply a little pointer which I just found out when playing this evening and thought it may help a few people. Common sense? *shrug* it wasn't to me, so I'm sure at least one other person will benefit from reading
Basically, a dead simple way to level your melee skill in, for example, 2h swords if you're a hunter, is to let your pet tank/kill the mob, and you just stand back and spam Wing Clip. Its a near instant cooldown, so you can spam it at least once per second, and each time will count towards your weapon skill. Saves standing around and waiting for each swing with 2h weapons which could take considerably longer
Anywho, hope this helps at least one other person, or it may well be a repost of a repost of a repost, or maybe even a flameable "common sense numbnuts" post.
Enjoy!
