how much skill in swordsmanship does reaction time and speed take, in ALO?

Umm, a lot? Just like in RL, speed and reaction time depend on the person and are crucial for swordsmanship.

Why didn't Yuuki feint against Asuna, if she knew how to feint, when she could of had a big advantage if she did?

Who says that feinting would have given her an advantage? More importantly, at what point did Yuuki need to gain an advantage against Asuna? She was winning the entire time.

Why should we assume she could learn Spell Blast, when even Leafa and Asuna had given up training the skill after just 3 days, due to the difficulty?

Why should we assume she couldn't? She's a better swordswoman than Asuna and Leafa (and Kirito), so there's no reason to assume she couldn't. Either way, you're the one asserting that she couldn't, so the burden of proof is on you.

She does however have the Medicuboid, which may give her advantage

Nope, Asuna makes a note that it didn't give her an advantage.

11 hit combo that takes off the vast majority of health when it hits

How much damage it deals depends on the opponent. That aside, how does that prove anything but my point when said 11-hit skill was literally created by her because she's such a good swordswoman.

Why would he have difficulty in blocking with one sword then attacking with another, or using both swords to guard or attacking with both one after the other?

All you've said here is "who says he can't?", but you have yet to prove he can. The one time he tried to fight without Sword Skills was against Heathcliff, who was literally toying with him and dispatched him with ease (or would have had Asuna not broken the system). The only other example you've got is Eugene and that was only a victory because Kirito found a way to counter Eugene's biggest advantage, it in no way proves that Kirito is good with two swords without Sword Skills.
