I don't totally disagree with your comment, but I just had to comment on this:
# of times I've sapped in SSC: 0
# of times I've blinded in SSC: 0
Admittedly, I do throw stuns from time to time, but I don't really stunlock.
# of times a feral druid has brezzed someone in SSC: large.
# of times a feral druid has innervated someone in SSC: large.
On the whole, I think the druid provides more raid utility. There's also considerations like: the druid can tank almost as well as a prot warrior, and dps almost as well as a fury warrior, making them extremely good offtanks for raids. Rogues cannot provide the same utility.
Rogues also don't give LotP, for that matter.
My point? Druids provide many things in PvE that rogues don't - the reason why people bring rogues to SSC is because they need the damage output we provide. Therefore, rogue dps *needs* to be higher than feral dps, or our role would be totally coopted. Plus, as I menetioned previously, the fact that your weapon damage doesn't scale as well as a 2H weapon doesn't mean for certain that your raid dps will not.
