from what i noticed it depends on the CL of the creature. If you sample the same creature from sampling 1 to master then your chance will go up, they will argo less(maybe?), and they will not die so quickly.
However if you start sampling high CL creatures at a high sampling level its about the same as sampling low creatures at a low sampling level.
ok let me clarify, (i do appreicate your answer).
This say i am sampling Bols.
with an increased skill level, will i get progressively better results if i sample them at dna 2-3-4?

1.) Yes, but your chance is based on the level of the creature as well. With a higher skill level, you can sample from higher level creatures with more success.
2.) I'll have to say this is luck lol, supposedly mobs aggro less as your skill goes up, but I've also been aggroed 3 times on 3 samples in a row, it might have been more if that hadn't killed me 
3.) Again, this seems to be pretty random too, but generally you can get more samples from the same mob before killing it off. I still kill some creatures off in one sample, and sometimes I can sit there and sample from a creature 15 times without killing it.
The biggest change as you raise in DNA sampling level is that you can get better quality samples with greater frequency.
