That's not actually so uncommon. Sometimes it
can be attributed to PL'ing but doesn't always have to be. I have 4 druids
across 3 servers who are all over level 50 and suck at Divination. None of
them were power leveled. Just that Divination is the least used casting
skill. The only line of spells druids have that use it are Invis and See
Invis spells. Well, Spirit Of Eagle and Flight of Eagles comes with See
Invis, but that's Alteration. And most high level druid armor since Planes
of Power comes with Perma-See Invis while worn. And prior to level 50,
there aren't that many mobs you go up against that require the need for See
Invis or Invisibility. But then when you have to run through Nobles
Causeway or WOS, you make sure you've spent a few hours raising that Divination
skill beforehand.
The enchanter off tanking is a better example of
someone being PL'd and not knowing how to play the character. A better example
would be a cleric who was PL'd and fizzles every time he tries to heal in a
group so resorts to off tanking as well.

Having played for 5 years, I'm sure
you've seen the enchanter who
joins a pick up group, and when you get
adds, they start off tanking
instead of mezzing the adds. That is
just scary to me, LOL.
