wvw skills not firing
This is also happening to me. Sometimes if I trigger my 9 skill before my heal on 6 it will work, but almost always my heal won’t work when I need it to. Yet for some reason my other skills will fire no problem.
Welcome to WvW. This is the way it has always been. It happens because the servers fall behind. The timers you see on your skills do not reflect their real availability.
When there are too many people and skills firing in wvw, it lags out, and stretches out time. So although your skill might say it has a 20 second cooldown, it might be closer to 40 seconds, or even more! Auto attacks appear to be on a separate system, and are not affected as badly as skills with cooldowns.
Keep in mind that when these big fights end, you can expect the server to catch back up, meaning your buffs will last a shorter amount of time, and you will attack faster.
It’s the single-most deterring factor of WvW.

As WhiteAndMilky said, Its just lag that occurs when you have to many players and too many particle effects in close proximity. Not much of anything that can be done about it. It happens in every MMO.

no its not about graphics and particle effects at all but about the server being able to handle the amount of data sent to it. This is a software + hardware issue at the server level and not at the player level and does not happen in all mmos. Eve for example can handle several hundred ships.
