In Gw1 pvp had it’s own set of skills. They were the same as pve but they had special restrictions, longer cool downs etc. Will WvW in GW2 have this or will pvp here kill pve like every other mmo? Seems to me pvp was far more advanced in GW1 then it is here.
We definitely don’t want to go to the level of fragmenting the game to the extent that we have PvP, WvW, and PvE versions of all the skills as that creates a disconnect with the characters we want you to use in all those places. That said, we are certainly discussing the idea of adding skills that would have a WvW focus. But they are just on the discussion level.

So the way this was handled in GW1 was bad?
Yes. Not only was it incredibly complex to maintain it became completely unwieldy to players as well. GW2 has made a great number of changes to systems specifically to avoid the complications we created in GW1. Not creating multiple versions of skills for 3 areas of the game would be one of those changes.
