I personally think a tankier Skarmory set is better. Like Denny already said Skarmory isn't supposed to be a hard attacker so much as a damage soaker and annoyance to the enemy. The EV spread I like is 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Speed. Good moves include Roost, Rock Slide, Tailwind, Protect, Toxic. You could opt for a STAB move like Steel Wing if you wanted but I definitely wouldn't worry about Brave Bird or Drill Peck. Since you have Whirlwind I think it'd be a good idea to have Stealth Rocks in there because if you're going to be forcing switches you might as well be getting some damage off to the enemy team.
