Don't. For two reasons.
1. Pulse does not currently support *recording* from BT devices (tho
initial patches are available for this so it will come soon).
2. Skype does odd things with alsa and does not work nicely with the
alsa->pulse plugin. A fabled "new" version of Skype has been rumoured
since about March that purports to address this, but I wouldn't hold
your breath.

This is an old way of doing things. The correct way moving forward is
direct pulse<->bluez integration which is where all the development is
focused. GUI tools already work this out automatically without need for
hacking config files.
