Everything is important, its that simple.
Gear - Limits numerically the best your character can possibly do.
Skill - Determines how close you can get to your maximum dps depending upon your gear.
Basically, your skill means you can do a certain % dps that your gear numerically allows. For example if your gear allows you to do a maximum of 100k dps, and your skill allows 100% potential then your doing 100k dps, If your gear allows for 200k dps and your at only 50% potential because of your skill then your doing around 100k. Great players can make use of low gear, you may be 30 Item levels lower then someone pulling more dps because you have a higher skill level.
When is it more appropriate to work on gear vs skill? - You may be a player who only has a very limited time to play outside of your 2 day a week raid so when should you work on skill vs gear? Well the answer is quite simple, you may use realistic vs maximum dps rankings and compare them to how much you are doing. From personal experience i can tell you 100% is extremely hard to achieve, even very skilled players may only achieve 95% maximum. Try this, check what kind of dps your doing and get a general idea on how high your dps is compared to what it should be, if your below the 75% mark you should work on your skill right away. Groups will inspect your gear and if they notice your doing significantly less hen what you should be you may be removed.
I have seen plenty of people in my experience do less dps and hps in end content raiding gear then beginning content dungeon gear and i can tell you, it is embarrassing to be in that position, we were all their once including myself, remember to never be afraid to take advice or ask for help.
