Apologies if a similar skill has already been suggested, it's quite an obvious one!
Class: Mesmer-like
Name: Illusion of Numbers (possibly Elite)
Foe-targeted
"For X seconds, 2 decoys of your character are placed on the battlefield. You take a random position of the 3 characters. Your decoys take on your current health, move as you do and cast the same skills you cast, but deal 0 damage."
Your decoys would be placed each side of you, on a circle around the foe you targeted, where the radius is equal to the distance between you and the foe, and you would all be spaced out evenly. You would then have a 2/3 chance of switching places with one of the decoys, like a game of Cups and Balls.
There are likely problems with it, but it would be awesome.

Elementalist Air Spell
Hold down to summon up to 3 lightning disks. Skill bar changes to hold three spells that can be cast with the disks. Some examples:
1. Throw disk at enemy. The disk moves in an arc and is near impossible to dodge. Once the disk hits the enemy, it takes concentrated amounts of lightning damage, with 25% armor penetration. All of enemy’s spells recharge.
2. The disk cuts itself into pieces and can be thrown out in a spray to damage enemies with 25% armor penetration.
3. The disk expands, creating a shield against % of melee.
4. The disk condenses and smashes into the ground, sending lightning streaks outward. All allies have 25% armor penetration.
If attuned to fire:
1. Disk causes fire damage and burning.
2. Pieces cause damage and short lengths of burning.
3. Shield against % of arrows.
4. Sets burning embers on ground. All allies move X% faster.
If attuned to water:
1. Disk causes water damage and slow-down.
2. Pieces cause damage and slow-down.
3. Shield backfires % of thrown spells.
4. Ice shards fly outwards. All allies in the area are healed for X health.
If attuned to earth:
1. Disk causes earth damage and stun.
2. Pieces cause damage and knock-down.
3. Shield blocks % of both melee and projectiles.
4. Short earthquake. All allies gain +X armor.
Cool things could be done with this. If you send out two disk projectiles at two different enemies, there is a lightning/fire/ice/earth link between the two, creating a line that would damage enemies who crossed it. This could also be done with the three, creating a triangle.

Elemental Shroud:
Elementalist elite skill (passive)
This skill is always activated.
This skill changes its effect depending on the attunement of the user.
If the user is fire attuned:
Creates a flame shroud (medium sized) around the user. Any enemy within this shroud periodically receives fire damage. Any player or enemy within this shroud (other than the caster) receives effect, "Shroud of Flame," with effect: on fire damage, you are set on fire for 3 seconds. All projectiles that can be modified by a flame are modified by this shroud, and deal fire damage. Mitigates 50% of all fire damage to caster. On receiving ice damage, this shroud is disabled for 3 seconds.
If the user is ice attuned:
Creates an ice shroud (medium sized) around the user. All non-fire projectiles fired into this shell have a 75% chance of being blocked. When this chance fails, this shroud is disabled for 3 seconds. On any fire damage, this shroud is disabled for 3 seconds. Players (other than the caster) standing within the shroud receive the effect, "Freezing Cold," which drains a small amount of energy periodically and slows movement speed by 25%.
If the user is earth attuned:
Creates an earth shroud (medium sized) around the user. Players (including caster) within this shroud receive effect "Earth Shroud," which mitigates all damage received by 40% and slows walking speed by 50%. On any critical damage, this shroud is disabled for 15 seconds.
If the user is water attuned:
Creates a water shroud (medium sized) around the user. Players (including caster) within this shroud are periodically healed a small amount of hp. Non-fire projectiles passing through this shroud are slowed to 1/4 speed for the remained of their trajectory. On flame damage, this shroud is disabled for 3 seconds.
Just for the record, passive means that this skill is always activated (when not explicitly disabled). In the case of earth attunement, this means that the player is indeed slowed by 50% even when not in combat, if he is earth attuned. If desired, these effects could be generalized to effect enemies as well as allies if desired, but I think that would lead to opportunities for players inhibiting other people.

Possible Mesmer/Mesmer Equivalent Spell
Name: Mirror Wall
Description: Summon a large mirror that reflects enemy attacks and prevents them from moving forward.
Mechanical Description: It's a ground targeted spell similar to Wall of Fire. It only has one side that's an actual mirror, so only enemies that attack it from the front get the attacks sent back to them. It also acts as an actual wall, so nothing can step through it, but it will break after getting hit a certain amount of times from the front, or only once from the back.
If it's broken from the back, then shards will be sent flying forward inflicting bleed and/or cripple conditions on enemies that are unlucky enough to be within cone range, (similar to Spread Shot and Dragon's Breath), if however, you were within point-blank range of the mirror, then you have a possibility of being crippled. Though, if it were to be broken from the front, then the shards would only cause damage and inflict its conditions from a Point Blank range.
Visual Effect: The mirror would materialize from thin air, in a sort of shimmering dust cloud. It will be a very tall, but not very wide, oval shape. Picture a very old-fashioned, Victorian-styled stand mirrors, but without the stands. It just hovers a little in the air above the grass. It'll be very decorative, with lots of intricate patterns around what would be the wooden frame, but it's made out of glittery diamonds.
Like all mirrors, standing in front of it will cause players to see a reflection of themselves and the environment behind them. However, if you're standing behind the mirror, then you you see through it as if it were a window, only it'll look a bit hazy. Essentially, it's a two-way mirror.
If the mirror hasn't been broken for a while then it will dematerialize similarly to how it was summoned.

Profession: Elementalist
Skill Name: Elemental Obliteration
Skill Description: Upon cast the ground around the target creates spikes that strike the target interrupting any current action and launching them into the air dealing earth damage while in the air a tornado picks up the target dealing air damage followed by a meteor striking the target and catching it on fire dealing fire damage followed by a tidal wave striking the target for water damage.
The damage of this skill should be pretty high and as such the recharge should be high also.

Necromancer Skill: Banshee Scream + Spirit Bomb
Skill Effect 1: Summon Banshee
A trio of Banshees are called forth from the nether realm. They will shield character from forward facing attacks. When enemies get close enough, banshees release an earsplitting scream that has the potential to piece eardrums, shatter bones and liquefy organs. If unsuccessful at doing one or all of the effects, skill effect 2 will trigger.
Cast Time: 5 seconds.
Cooldown Time: 2 minutes.
Skill Effect 2: Spirit Bomb
Sacrificing themselves for their summoner, when this skill effect is triggered, banshees will blanket enemies in a highly volatile and somewhat acidic ectoplasm that reduces their movement due to the severe pain from the slime eating away at their flesh. The banshees will then release another ear-piercing scream that causes the ectoplasm to react in a violent explosion. Because of the nature of their ectoplasm, the banshees will be destroyed when the ectoplasm erupts. This skill also has a small AoE effect due to the volatile nature of the ectoplasm. Enemies within a three foot radius of the intended target will receive 25% damage.
Cast Time: Instant trigger (hotkey)
Cooldown Time: 30 seconds.

I took my inspiration from my old biology classes to come up with my idea for a Ranger utility skill.
Skill Name: Fight or Flight
Description: For the next X seconds; if your animal companion is alive/in combat, both you and your pet gain the Fury and Might Boons. If your animal companion is dead or dies, instead gain Y% evasion and Z% increase in movement speed. No effect unless an animal companion is active.
Explanation: Basically if your pet is alive, you and your pet gain some sort of decent battle buff (be that extra damage, increased attack speed, etc). I mention fury and might boons because they are the only ones that I can remember at this moment. But if your pet is dead when you activate the skill or dies while this skill is in effect, then you immediately lose those battle buffs and instead gain some sort of buff to your ability to block, reduce incoming damage, removes crippled condition, and run faster (however the specifics of that works in game mechanics).
So just like in real life, when a threat presents itself, the body instinctively prepares itself for fighting or getting away. I feel this skill fits well with the nature/pet-centric aspects of the Ranger profession.

The Weapons of Dark Absolution absorb the spirits of the deceased. Once imprisoned the souls are subjected to the torments of hell. They are then liberated with a long howl of terror that chills the blood of all those who hear it.
Necromancer Elite Weapon Skill Name:Weapon of Dark Absolution
Skill effect:When the necromancer has the weapon equipped the souls of killed enemy's well no longer fill the necromancers life force bar. All the souls well be absorbed into the weapon filling the weapons charge bar(Note: this can be shown by having the necromancers life force bar change into a different color) The skill well change into a release skill to free the trapped souls after being cast. Depending on how much the bar has been filled well determine the amount of damage done to enemy's in a area around the caster and the duration of the fear condition on enemy's.
Visuals:When cast the already equipped weapons well have there look change much like the Ritualist weapon skills do. When the caster uses the skill to release the trapped souls the weapon well appear to shatter leaving the normal equipped weapons. When the weapon shatters black shadows well race away in a AOE around the caster doing damage and inflicting the fear condition. When the souls are released a sound of many tormented screams should be heard.
Notes:The skill well last until the necromancer dies or releases the stored souls. The necromancer well not gain any life force even if the player changes to a new weapon set, he well also not charge the weapon of dark absolution. The player well die and not go into the Death Shroud stat while the weapon is still absorbing souls.
comment on the contest: Why only have US residents win? I know its a shipping cost thing but why not make it so you give away coupons or gift certificates to LTL prints? That way if someone outside the US wins they could still get the largest print if they just pay for the shipping out of there own pocket. The person could even get many different sized prints if he/she wanted.

Necromancer Elite Weapon Skill Name:Weapon of Dark Absolution
Skill effect:When the necromancer has the weapon equipped the souls of killed enemy's well no longer fill the necromancers life force bar. All the souls well be absorbed into the weapon filling the weapons charge bar(Note: this can be shown by having the necromancers life force bar change into a different color) The skill well change into a release skill to free the trapped souls after being cast. Depending on how much the bar has been filled well determine the amount of damage done to enemy's in a area around the caster and the duration of the fear condition on enemy's.
Visuals:When cast the already equipped weapons well have there look change much like the Ritualist weapon skills do. When the caster uses the skill to release the trapped souls the weapon well appear to shatter leaving the normal equipped weapons. When the weapon shatters black shadows well race away in a AOE around the caster doing damage and inflicting the fear condition. When the souls are released a sound of many tormented screams should be heard.
Notes:The skill well last until the necromancer dies or releases the stored souls. The necromancer well not gain any life force even if the player changes to a new weapon set, he well also not charge the weapon of dark absolution. The player well die and not go into the Death Shroud stat while the weapon is still absorbing souls.

So my idea probably fits best with the Necro professions.
As they will probably have access to various life draining skills, I think they should have access to a more selfless healing skill.
Healing Ray
Channel a beam of pure life force to an ally, healing them while draining your own life.
As the necromancer is more in touch with life and death the healing granted is greater than the life sacrificed.
You could also let others stand in the beam at no extra cost to the necromancer.

Chitinous Armour:
Necromance skill, surround yourself in bones that graunt you bonus armour and damage enemies who attack you in melee. When used, skill is replaced with Bone Storm which allows the necromancer to shoot the bones off into the air and then rain down on nearby foes causing damage and bleeding.After this skill is used the recharge starts before you can use Chintinous armour again.

(Elementalist, air attuned)
Skill Name: Vortex
Description: The elementalist creates a Vortex of air that sucks all enemy foes surrounding it towards the center. The skill will deal AoE damage to foes close enough to the center. Vortex has a lesser effect the further the foe is from the center.
Effect: The Vortex sucks every foe towards the center. All foes have their movement altered in the direction of the vortex, but can still walk in another direction from it but the angle and speed will remain altered towards the center.
Use: This can be used to give your team an advantage at a certain location, much like 'Ward Against Foes' did in the original GW. The skill is more fun to use and it requires a tactical location (an enemy moving towards the center moves quicker so using it wrongly will hurt).
Not going to bother with values; no sense of balance within the current game.
The inverse of this skill would be nice also: a 'monsoon' that heals allied units within it while pushing all foes out of it with a certain speed, possibly linked with Water attunement instead.

My skill is for a warrior!
Warriors usualy need to get threat from big monsters, but then they also need to relax at the tavern after a long fight. We all know that after a couple of Ales, a warrior is easily seduced by natural beauties, often resulting in accidental adultery.
Here is when my skill come in handy :
Veil of Subtelty
Type: Debuff (target: wife, girlfriend, week-end girl)
Duration: 1 week
Can be dispelled by: Co-Workers, Jealous Ex, Mom
Remove all suspiscions from a loved one about (1) night away without explanations or (1) "I really don't remember where I have left my pants"
35% chance to apply on first attempt
60% chance to apply on second attempt
Can only be stacked once
Cannot be re-applied once the buff is gone
Downsides:
Can only be stacked once

Sanguine Abomination
Necromancer Summon Minion Skill
A summon skill that is akin to playing Russian Roulette -- the minion grows more powerful the longer it exists, but also has a greater chance to turn against its master. Will you play it safe, or put it all on the line?
-------------------------------------------
This skill deals health damage and then creates a creature vaguely resembling a fetus from the enemy's blood. This minion grows in power - physically and stat-wise - as it attacks. However, the more powerful it becomes, and the longer it goes without draining blood, the greater the chance it will turn on its master.
Secondary Spell: Rupture
The Sanguine Abomination explodes into a web of semi-coagulated blood, holding enemies in place until the spell fades or they are able to break free. The more powerful the abomination at the time Rupture is used, the wider the radius and duration of the webbing.
-------------------------------------------
In the end, the Sanguine Abomination is a ticking time bomb. The longer you keep it around, the more damage you can potentially inflict on your enemies, but also is just as likely to explode in your face. Players must chooser whether to be cautious and have a weak minion, or take a gamble and make the abomination as powerful as possible, knowing full well they may end up having to fight it in the future.
Note: I included a secondary spell for the sake of completeness, as I read on the GW2 official site that all Necromancer Minion spells have an associated secondary spell.
