I can't find any cool medium armor skins for my Asura. I have a good set but I'm looking to another one that doesn't make me look like a tool. Does anyone have good medium armor skin suggestions?

Umm, medium = leather, it's cool by default.
As for specific suggestions... The level 70 duelist set (transformed with level 80 exotic stats) looks like the level 80 named sets and has a very ninja-like appearance. On my character it's currently celestial with abyss outline. I don't have a medium armor Asura, but the model shouldn't be too different on them. The helmet in the picture is from a crafted set.
Also, the pirate set is awesome, you'll get a feathered hat, peacoat, and everything.

What makes a skin cool or not is really subjective, and also, they look quite different on an Asura than other races, so it's hard to recommend skins unless you also have an asura.
My advice to you would be to trawl through the GW2 data base at http://www.gw2db.com/ .
This will give you not only an idea of what's out there, but you can look at 3d models. You can even cut and paste the code they give you into Guild Wars 2, so you can preview that armor piece on yourself.
I've been have trouble finding medium armor that I like as well. My best choice would be the tier 3 human cultural armor, minus the underboob.
Anyway here's a YouTube video showing off some of the Asura medium armor for males.
I'm using Sylvari cultural, so doesn't work for you there...
Honestly I had a hard time finding one I really liked. Wish they didn't feel the need to give every medium armor a long jacket, just doesn't look good on some characters. Maybe you can find a dungeon armor you like?
There's a pretty cool website out there for viewing the various armor types on races and genders, i'd suggest checking it out to see what's out there.

My personal favorite medium armor for an Asura is the cultural tier 2 stuff. Oh and the Crucible of Eternity stuff minus the helm. I still prefer the tier 2 cultural on that set since it's all Asura themed armor and the CoE head piece is just a ninja mask. Mixing the chest piece and shoulder from CoE and the rest from the tier 2 cultural is a pretty cool look.

Well, my only Asura is a clothie so I wouldn't know but still know that armor models are pretty much the same for all races except adapted to their respective proportions. I've seen Asura in the pirate medium armor that look good, but it's lower level so people might mistake you for being undergeared even if you armor mold it to an 80 exotic.
