It increases duration. Warcry can last over 1:30, Hastega over 5:30, and Inferno Howl's potency IS actually affected by summoning magic skill, as well as it's duration.

Earthen ward isn't affecte4d by skill, but it does scale with level. At 99 it's 248 damage, but this IS also increased by all the 'enhances stoneskin' items; allowing one to recieve a max of 348 (yes those same items would make normal stoneskin 450).
