A dilemma (Greek for "double proposition") is a problem offering two unrelated possibilities, neither of which is unambiguously acceptable or preferable. Therefore, this is not technically a dilemma.

I would argue the opposite - just about *every* skill choice implies one.

Either your tree has Block or +ST.

Either your elf blitzer has Guard or Mighty Blow.

Either your 10 MA gutter runner has Sprint or Sneaky Git.

OK. The last one might be a bit less difficult to solve.

In a dilemma, usually both options are equally undesirable, but in these cases I would say they are often equally desirable. But yes, a dilemma can also mean just a difficult situation or problem in general, which would then make sense. I was just being silly of course.
