Rogue brings nothing to a raid other than damage, which anyone can do. If it wasn't for the gear competition, we'd have no real use for the class. They also die easier and are harder to heal than ranged damage. Blizzard forces you to take them since gear is randomized. Otherwise, you'd have 15 Mages fighting over 1 piece of gear, and no one being able to even equip the Rogue crap. We have a use for things like bloodpact, soulstones, banish, intellect, water, not to mention AoEs and fights where melee dps is damn near useless. What we don't have a use for in raiding is stealth and lockpicking.
