No skinning skillup?

While leveling skinning in Hellfire I noticed that not every successful skinning loot resulted in a skill up. The difficulty indicated was orange. Is this something new? It's been a while since I leveled skinning but I thought at that difficulty you got a skill up for each successful gather. It's only working every two to three successful skins.
I asked Blizz and got the "...as you level professions they will become increasingly difficult.." non answer.

orange isnt guaranteed to give you a skillup.
its working as intended.

I understand that, but I don't remember it as being around 50% skill up for successful collection. 50% fail rate on attempt was normal but every successful attempt was a skill up.

Its normal.
It alway been like that. What is new (but somewhat old now), is the oldworld now alway give a skill up on orange (which was not the case before). This is to help DK to lvl up skinning.

I remember reading somewhere that skinning skillups don't work the same as the other gathering professions. Because skinning is so much different in the idea that you don't have to run around and find nodes, you can just kill beast mobs, they made it so "orange" doesn't necessarily give a skillup for skinning. Like was posted before, in the old world it seems to be the case, but once you get higher up, into Outlands and Northrend, it uses a different mechanic.

I usually take a trip to the Yetis in Winterspring after training skinning; it doesn't take very long to get it up to 350 or so which should serve all your Outland needs.
