Loopback is great for re-routing CoreAudio, but it won't get you into an HD rig - Source Nexus will.

I'd like to be able to Skype for some online vocal lessons and still have access to my my mic and plugins.

As others have said...Aggregate with HD isn't an option unfortunately. Source Nexus is great, but if you don't require the full feature set it provides, You can always get a USB audio device that supports SPIDIF, and route the digital I/O to your HD/IO. I use a Behringer USB coreaudio interface that works great with my Avid Omni, older macs have built in optical audio support as well so thats another route you can go.
