from a mage pov, i love the rogue "mechanics" atm - its not about getting craptons of resiliance, its about controlling the rogue during shadow dances. you do that and u wont see anyone dropping low.
There won't be any gap between CS and KS if the rogue are playing at a connection rewarding him/her with lower than 500MS. Using Prem to get recup up you'll never, and I promise, never, have any problem with the CS -> KS combo (which, frankly, you don't use that much anymore).
And to Swooshie123. You have no clue about 1,5k + rated arenas do you?
Fireworkz:
Yes, you can cast a HC just next to a rogue, you want to know how? help from friends or ghool stun.
Seriously getting so sick 'n' tired of loners just doing BGs for two days and then think they know everything about balance in arena.
Get real, play with friends and co-operate to do stuff. You can't expect every class to have a mechanic to counter every other class.
And I'm not the one saying this to often, but seriously, scrubs be whining.

Lock has three fears, normal fear,death coil and howl of terror.
I had locks chain fear me, rouge chain stun alot.Diminishing returns is broken on fears,stuns and rooting, that i seen happen alot i had rouge became immune to stun after two times and yet he can keep stunning me many times.
Obviously the OP doesnt mean Backstab, he means Ambush. Which can easily do 30k on a high resil plate target. and guess what?

With talented recoup up, you could pretty easily get off 3 ambushes during a shadow dance.
On top of that, this brain melting cooldown is only 1 minute!
Compare that to warriors, whos only damage increasing cooldown is on a 5 minute cd.
But blizzard isnt going to buff arms, because it would only increase the disparity between arms and fury in pve. if you are unaware, Arms actually beats out fury until heroic tier. a buff to arms would effectively kill one of warrior's specs completely... But then again, they had no problem butchering prot pvp with this vengeance nerf....
31K x3 on +4K resi? Get real man... Maybe he had a Frost Mage or Feral with him? It's impossible for a rogue. I'm hitting like ~16K MAX with Back Stab, maybe 18K with trinket. Maybe rogues are OP or something but you still should learn how to fight with them. I'm still losing sometimes with warriors on arenas that's mean I should make another thread about How Warriors Are Overpowered? If I lose vs Mage/Shadow Priest with chain Fear/Polymorphing CC I should cry about it on mage/priest forums? When I'm fighting in mirror arena should I blame lags or rage on the people on the forums? No, I should learn how to play. That's all what I wanted to say.

Ah yea, the classic argument.
So, you've been playing since vanilla, good for you! Now, let's see how you do in arena, oh that's right. Waving the "I've played for long" flag doesn't kill anyone in arenas? How strange.
I've never been glad, I've been one rating from it and I'm pretty sure that's worth more than paying $10 a month in 6 years.
