Posts like this answer the question as to why I hate rogues.

Original Post:

I see rogues being replaced by cat-druids in wotlk. Their talent tree has basically everything combat does now and more, and has additional scaling abilities. Rogues remain the only class with no ability to buff their groups or the raid, and their only mob-debuff ability is easily replaced by a single warrior. With deathknights and retpaladins potentially eating up limited melee positions and both buffing the rest of the raid/debuffing the mobs, what place will rogues have? Maybe we'll just get carried until Arthas's best friend drops artifact weapons and then finally we'll hold our own.

Posts talk about "rogues having consistant dps". Druids have a 1 second attack speed, their main finisher is a bleed effect and provides a large portion of their damage, they have inherent self healing, group buffing, boss-debuffing abilities, innervate, combat res...

I'm hopeful that Fan of Knives and the assassination tree will carry us on, and I'm hoping that the pvp combat talents get replaced by useful ones. It just seems rough that Fan of Knives will be based on weapon damage when they're really pushing daggers, and Wavering Will will probably end up requiring a sacrifice in damage.
