So I decided to re-roll Horde and take my time leveling, I'm sitting at like level 52 now and kind of weighing my options now. I'd like to Raid, but I can't commit at the hardcore level any longer, so something like 3-4 nites a week with the weekends off would be ideal. But the chance of a guild taking me in once I hit 70 with the terrible gear I'll end up with are slim, even with my extensive Raiding experience. So, I guess we'll see how it all works out, worst case, I work on Badge gear until Wrath comes out.

You'd be surprised, every server has a tonne of people who are in the same situation. They want to raid, but not commit to the 5+ days a week that some of the "top" raiding guilds require (or heavily suggest) of their members.
If you have a raiding experience with your Rogue, post on the forums about starting a "pug" group to do the content you want. If you are clear and concise about what it is you want to accomplish, you might be surprised with the results. Will you start Sunwell next week? No, of course not, but there are plenty of guilds out there now that are well into BT that only raid 2 or 3 nights a week at this point. They'll never fight for a server first, but most of those people don't care.
I bring this up because you might be setting yourself up for a fall with your new Horde character. Because if WotLK rolls around, you might just find yourself in the same position you are in now at lvl 80. If raiding content is what you want at a 3 night a week pace, advertize it on the Forums and find people in a similar position, worst comes to worst it doesn't work and you are right where you are right now. You really have nothing to lose.
