Yes it can. If you personally aren't able to, it's either because you don't know how to damage as a rogue, or there's a massive gear difference between you and the warriors you're versing.
Or all these rogues are bitching because they think they should be able to burst a warrior 100-0 through die by the sword, rallying cry, shield wall, defensive stance and second wind. Oh wait, they already can.

You realize how crap second wind is now that battle fatigue is 30% right? With an ms effect on top of that its not even good anymore. I havent played my war since 5.2 but conversion is the same % on my dk and at 410k life it ticks for like 7k per second with an MS effect up which is roughly the same as second wind will be.
Zerg with defcds till 2nd wind.
Pop blades and nuke till dead.
profit.
Works 98% of the time for me.
And yes, ST can outdps 2nd wind. Just tried it in a duel on a full malev gear warrior.
Dude. Whether or not I know how to damage as a rogue has NOTHING to do with spamming shuriken toss. Which cannot dps through a geared warriors mitigation and second wind. I Just tested it on a honor geared malevolent warrior at max range. Even with the auto attacks he just hovered around 20-30 percent.

Ok I'm man enough to admit when I'm wrong. I just tested free casting against a full malev warrior and I did get his hp to zero quite easily. BUT... shuriken toss is pretty OP right now.
Sounds like the OP just figured out what button to spam to win.

Wow, what a discussion this topic brought up, afterall i did admit defeat.
I play both classes. No problem with second wind, least of all as Assassination.
What was really op about second wind was it's combination of benefiting from pvppower and using it in conjunction with pre-nerf defensive stance. You could turtle pretty much any dps back then.
Gotta agree with Korgoth here (which is a rarity), that you should be able to out dps his second wind. The only thing I could think of is if he's a Protection Warrior with defensive cooldowns up... but then his pressure on you wouldn't be very great. (I'm not very famililar with prot warriors, so correct me if I'm wrong)
