I have a very geared rogue alt, and something that has never ceased to amaze me is observing the difference in what druids do when I am playing my rogue compared to when I am playing my warrior. Even druids that could be classified as "pretty bad" players knew enough to cyclone and root my warrior whenever possible. However, when I would play my rogue, (on similar comps to my warrior), the amount of times I would get rooted and cycloned is far, FAR fewer. I've tried to think up reasons why this is, and about the only thing I can come up with is that they assume it's pointless to root, because I will CloS or vanish out of it. But since they never even tried it, I never had to blow those cooldowns, so I could use them for other things.
