List of skills which heroes cannot use
This is just a little section made for my own future reference of skills that hero AI does not handle well. Feel free to add and expand. All notes thus far have been recorded with heroes set to Defensive. Skill priority (from left to right) has been taken into account.

Warrior

 * Primal Rage seems to never be used
 * Warrior's Endurace is used questionably
 * Can use Crushing blow but not belly smash for some reason
 * Uses ViM variably, sometimes will waste it on a foe with barely any conditions.
 * Uses Bull's Strike and protector's strike only on moving foes, while the latter can be used to boost DPS.
 * Bad use of Protector's Defence, used when no allies are nearby.

Ranger

 * Seems to have issues with using preparations unless you put them at the very beginning of the bar
 * Will only barrage if there is more then one target
 * Questionable use of stances.
 * Has issues using ferocious stike
 * Found some problems using RaO
 * Uses magebane shot as a normal interrupt rather then using it on spells only to take advantage of the insta recharge.
 * When set to defensive tends to focus interrupts on one target rather then all available targets

Monk

 * Does not consider the bonuses of using ZB or WoH on targets below 50% HP. Both are used as straight heals.
 * Has some issues using Signet of Devotion and Rejuvenation and especially if energy isn't at 0.
 * Will often use highest available heal on a target regardless of HP. Usually ends up running out of energy.

Necromancer

 * Uses GB badly
 * Uses well spells but with no regard of the nearest corpse condition. Will not position self so that well is cast in the battle.
 * Usually really stupid with Blood Ritual, using almost exclusively on other AI and not the player. Will Brit MMs who don't need it. Possibly the same is true for BiP

Mesmer
Need data here.

Elementalist

 * Issues using glyphs

Assassin

 * Issues with attack chains that go beyond lead-off-dual.
 * Questionable use of Assassin's Promise

Ritualist

 * Tends to use weapon spells on melee chars.
 * If given Vital weapon will cast it almost exclusively on himself
 * Possibly has issues with spells that trigger additional effects when near a spirit. This needs further testing.

Paragon
No bad skill uses noted thus far.

Dervish

 * Uses enchantments randomly. Will remove every last one of them if given signet of pious light or pious assault.
