For what it's worth: as far as I can tell, the reason the aura is an encounter power instead of at-will (which could then be assumed to just be always up) is the heals. I think they made it encounter instead of at-will just so that you couldn't reuse the at-will power to get infinite heals.
So, as a DM, I would allow Skalds to always have their aura up, and at-will chosen. But that's not the rules, that's just my bias.

It will also help you out if combat in your play group tends to drag out over a lot of rounds. If most fights are over in five rounds this build is trouble, but if they are over ten rounds long you will have a couple sparse turns at the beginning.
