As Elemental, you can't beat a Rogue that knows what he's doing. Even a Rogue that doesn't know what he's doing is likely going to kill you without much trouble. First he'll stun and damage you down to 30% to 50% health, by now he has enough combo points to instantly finish you off OR stun you again. If you try to heal, he'll kick you and interrupt. Best way to go is Trinket -> Earthbind (with root talents) and/or Thunderstorm. Get distance, Frost Shock - keep him slowed.
I'd run for it by then, but if you feel like it (and he has not popped Cloak of Shadows yet) you could Flame Shock him, then Hex and Lava Burst. Throw an instant Lightning Bolt and hope for some lucky crits.
I usually survive if I have a healer keeping me up. Eventually though.. the healer will be Blinded, and I'll be killed anyway.
As Resto: I usually win. They can't kill me.
As Enhancement: I never win. Too much damage, too fast.

I was just QQing about this to my guildmates. Im not very good at pvp anyway but in AV I was getting destroyed by rogues. I dont have the right spec to resist the stuns.

I've found that the only spec that can really demolish a rogue is restoration, and that is a stretch. Enhance lacks the defensive cooldowns to survive the burst directed at them, and elemental is often unable to cast in the rogue's face.

Been gaining 70k honor in BG's over the past week or so, and I must say.. as Elemental, the only way to defeat a Rogue is this way:
1. Get the drop on him (keep your distance, if he Sprints towards you, Frost Shock, Earthbind, Ghost Wolf and GET OUT!)
Or..
2. Be very lucky his cooldowns are not up.
Basically: Flame Shock, Lava Burst, Hex, Earthbind Totem (root him) and get some distance. Use Stoneclaw Totem (with shield glyph) to not die and such, then throw a Lightning Bolt followed by a Chain Lightning. Both should land at the same time, give or take. Then another Lava Burst and you should be done.
Thunderstorm only as a last resort and when you know for a FACT it's going to be useful.
If he has Blind at the ready, or Cloak of Shadows, or that top talent from Combat where they AOE attack people, you're screwed.
