Sure, I see less rogues nowadays than during BC, but I'm always #1 or #2 on recount for DPS.
And besides, DPS all depends on skill. A lot of Rogues just don't have a clue on what to do.

Rogues are HORRIFICALLY gear dependant for damage. 50%(ish) of our damage comes from autoswings which is pure stats.
There was a large drop off in damage from rogues as they dinged 80, a little work on gear will soon bring yours back to a point you can be happy with it.
Agreed on feral kitty dps being pretty decent atm tho :)
A good, (fully) naxx25 geared rogue will put out around 4.5-5.5k dps.

no we're not gear dependant (we are as other classes), and, for me, my white damage is around 35%.
we are buff dependant. trying to max our dps on dummies for istance, results everytime a fail.

Rogues are a dead class? Like um ... seriously?
Rogues around the globe are topping dps-meters left and right.

It depends how YOU play the rogue.
If you know what youre doing then you can do 2.k DPS with
Quest blue at level 80.
I have heroic blues no tiers only a few epics and i do 3600 dps
on Tank and spank fights (patchwerk xD)

You sucking does not make the class dead.

It seems to me that once WotLK came out, a lot of the roguetards became deathtards. I quit my rogue so that I could make a DK on a different server with my friends. Though he's just for money making purposes now while I'm leveling other toons, I can see the allure that drew many of the poorly skilled rogues to a class that does the same damage but requires less thinking.
Rogues at 80 are both gear and buff dependent. It sucks really. We're a pure dps class, yet we can't do %^&* unless he have the best gear and the best buffs. I haven't been on my rogue in forever due a dead server... but I really want to get started again.

Although I agree rogues aren't what they used to be (at 70 I topped DPS charts in full season 2 gear and pvp specced), you still have to remember rogues have always been heavily dependent on their weapons (gear not as much as we are now). You also have to remember it's hard to beat hunters and mages with their huge casts, dk's are easy mode (and I've seen their dps dropping since the last few patches) and warriors only hit once every 2-3 seconds which causes higher hits. Plus poisons, rupture, garrote,white damage, and always having to change targets, our overall dps tends to be lower, but I do notice when it comes to overall damage done, I come out a higher position.
Im sorry, i just cant take this input seriusly..
Saying you topped dps charts in raids?
when apparently after reading ur fist topic in the forum, u didnt even have a clue about how the speed on the OH should be until just recently.. O.o
