You get the idea. Either way, if a rogue isn't by his priest friend when my warrior hops on him, it becomes a very much losing battle from the onset.
One thing I really like to see is rogues who shiv a non-dot poison on the warrior before they blind him. Another is stunning the warrior when he's either him or I are low so he can't pummel Mass Dispel. Priests spamming R1 SW:P can hurt as well, since it adds another dot to dispel over poisons and also acts as an instant mana burn.
If I was still playing my rogue in TBC, I would probably stay in LOS of my healer all the time. Attack Paladin while he was in LOS. When he runs out of LOS, immediatly hop on warrior, etc. Hopping out of LOS is just HoJ and a 5-10 second loss of DPS.

The problem with shivving a Warrior is that you lose all your combo points on the Paladin, and lot of times i'll have 4-5 built up by the time he gets a bubble off, stunning him works but again, you pretty much have to either be attacking the Warrior already or have had 80-100 energy when you went on the Warrior, unless you want to rely on Gouge.
I'll LoS my Priest if I think I need to, if I can kill someone doing it then it's rather rare i'm in danger of dying before he can catch up. Against a dmg/dmg team typically they're always nearby anyway, and for a dmg/healer team you're not going to kill me fast enough that my healer can't LoS, or that I couldn't CLoS or Evasion.
One of the fun things about when he was Disc/Holy was Reflective Shield, I could go on the Paladin and the Warrior would be at 40% sometimes and I could just blind the paladin and gib the Warrior sometimes.
I took a rather odd spec which i'm still testing out, basically picked up 5/5 Vile Poisons, 3/5 Imp Poisons and 2/2 Master Poisoner over 3/3 Imp KS and 5/5 Find Weakness, it helps a lot against Paladins/Druids/Shamanas Vile Poisons 5/5 is basically a requirement it seems like since Paladins like to spam cure.
