It's not so much that rogues get to double dip, as warrior items simply have fewer stats on them overall. Look at the examples Landsoul posted above between "best" plate and leather for helm and chest. The leather options have itemization spread between four stats, while the plate stuff only has three. All the items have the same number of sockets, and the leather chest even has an "inferior" blue socket. If you were to add ArPen onto the mayhem goggles at the cost of some str and hit, all of a sudden they would probably easily claim best in slot, same if any of the plate pieces traded down a bit on some stats to gain a fourth.
All in all I'm very happy with the stats they put on the warrior sunwell gear, and the ratio between those stats, but due to the way that blizzard's itemization works "our" gear will always lose out to leather so long as the rogue stuff is getting more diverse point expenditure on single pieces, especially with so much of sunwell leather including high amounts of AP, ArPen, and crit, our bread and butter stats.
