The problem isn't that we wont be getting as much DPS through weapon swapping, it's that rogues will have to look for very specific upgrades and if they don't drop they fall far behind other classes which they are already doing on the PTR. We'll literally only be looking for BiS items which is what Blizzard doesn't want, yet they've forced it on us.

Who knows, maybe we'll be able to attack bosses from the front =/

I don't see the problem with the lack of hit.
There's a several hit items already, and we still haven't seen a offset helm.
It's more of a issue for mutilate, since arp isn't an ideal stat, but Gloves of the Silver Assassin are a good example that good stat spread is more relevant than the stats themselves.

Fans glory to the Gladiators,

Slapstick

We've only seen loot from 6 of the 14(?) bosses in Icecrown, and I doubt we even have full loot tables for the bosses we have seen. I think it's a tad bit early to be worried about a lack of anything on gear.

I wouldn't worry that much about hitrating.

There have already been found several nonsetitems with hitrating, like Wodins Lucky Necklace or Band of the Bone Colossus. A sword with hitrating drops (Bloodvenom Blade and the set shoulders now also have hitrating (Sanctified Shadowblade Pauldrons). And these are just the items discovered off 6 or 7 of 13 bosses.

I am sure there will be enough ways to gain hitrating up to the poison hitcap without socketing or even enchanting hitrating in any major way.

 

Grunge

Set shoulders providing hit gives mutilate more breathing room as to which pieces to purchase.

2pc from Shoulder+Gloves, Offset expertise chest, offset hit/crit legs, hopefully there's a offset non-arp helmet somewhere in there.

Fans glory to the Gladiators,
Gods glory to the Heroes.
