I'm surprised you aren't getting much out of the skullcrushers. They are one of my favorite exercises.
I would try adding a second tricep exercise to your routine. Perhaps dropping a bicep exercise (short term only). If you are feeling the biceps that much in your tricep exercise, they may be tight and overactive and not returning to normal resting length which is inhibiting the contraction of the tricep. Perhaps, replacing the bicep exercise with a tricep exercise for a short period will allow you to stretch out your biceps.
Also, I would cheat on one of my chest exercises and use that as an extra tricep exercise as well. Use a close grip on bench presses or pushups or do dips with your body weight out front.
