I haven't seen definitive data on that though.
On the otherhand, I'm near top in my raids atm so I'm not saying our dps is bad (I did luck into a 489 dagger with my bag of loot though where as almost everyone else has a blue). Like I said in the other thread though, I do think our dps is low for what we bring (see feral druid dps and all the stuff they bring such as 0 dps loss healing) and therefore am not entirely happy with the state of the class. DS was actually kind of well done in that it allowed rogues to have utility in quite a few of the fights (in this case using utility to mean ability to do something non trivial for the raid outside of dps or able to dps in a specific way that is far more useful than most). I'm only 5 fights in but I'm not seeing anything so far... unless you want to count spirit kings where I can interrupt at a dps loss (which I luckily don't have to do much since we have dk's, warriors, rets that have 0 dps loss interrupts).
