It's not so much that you're wrong but that your arguments are all both highly situational and nigh inconsequential.
During KS the damage from Wound Poison will at the very least be competitive, especially considering we're talking about maybe 3 casts in an entire bossfight. Don't forget that you usually keep dps-ing the same target after KS so you won't need FoK to keep up your stacks.
Deadly Throw is even more of a maybe than FoK, there is currently NO situation in which you might have cps on a target and with no Redirect target. Furthermore, such cps can often be used to jump-start your SnD or even start a Recuperate in high damage situations.
Thrown could net you an advantage but only in a select few fights and, again, Wound will be competitive.
The last thing to keep in mind is that poisons simply aren't horrifically important to Combat Rogues. The damage output is significant, yes, but the dps advantage of 4 (if that) extra DP applications over the course of a bossfight is going to number in the .01% range.
