AC , lieutenant kohler.
It is allowed to skip everything that isn’t required to complete the dungeon.
Kholer is an optional boss, although many people like to do it because it opens up a waypoint, and is an extra champ bag.
I believe the gravling after the spider queen is also optional.
Other then that the only objectives you need to complete are the ones that progress the story. Everything else can be skipped.
It’s the chain I beat you with until you
recognize my command!”
It’s allowed. They are optional quest in the dungeon.
You can also easily melt the gravelings after the spider with a high damage staff elementalist. If you’re not specially worried about clearing speed, it’s a free champion bag for a really short and easy fight (easier than the skip I would say).

The only time skipping is bannable is when you abuse a terrain glitch to make your way to a place you clearly weren’t supposed to reach, e.g. under the map or inside a wall. Other than that, you’re free to skip anything the game allows you to. You can take advantage of skills that facilitate skipping, you can even make yourself invisible if you happen to have a thief on your party!
Skipping is actually a pretty common habit in dungeons as it saves you a lot of time (while you sacrifice almost no loot), even more so when there are fewer players in the party, since it would take ludicrous amount of time to defeat everything in sight.
//Edit: Sorry for being unclear – as Jerus pointed out below, thief is by no means required for stealthing. Special items allow any class to use stealth plus some other classes also posses stealth abilities. Nonetheless, thief is IMO best option for longer stealth sections (like CM and Arah) and pretty straightforward for beginners.

Stealth isn’t exlusive to theif, you have multiple consumables which do that as well as Engi/Mesmer of course.
