You can also wear ilvl 30 because you like the look of it, but thanks god, blizzard gave us the transmog option.
As I said, both casuals and Hardcore raiders want to beat content they play. Not taking skill A if it's clearly stronger than skill B will only make your live harder. The goal should be to create situations where either Skill A or Skill B shines, or even better, situations were every skill shines but in their own way.
If Skill A is always better than Skill B, it's not a choice. It's not a choice if someones asks you "would you rather have 100$ or only 50$, for free - it's a present, I'm filthy rich". It's a given you'd take the 100$ and not the 50$ because you like the picture on that bill so much.
