The rogue class in World of Warcraft is basically all about rapidly ending the life of something in the game. In PvP the word "rapidly" can often be changed to "abruptly".
The rogue class is incredibly sensitive to gear. The statistics of the character have dramatic effects on outcomes.
Rogues can be very rewarding to play. I have noticed I do not see them in dungeons as often as I did half a decade or so ago. However, I still see them in battlegrounds.
Nevertheless, they are good for both PvE and PvP play. One resource available to rogues to help pick out and evaluate gear, glyphs, and talent points is a web site named Shadowcraft.
If you have a rogue character that you play in WoW, you should take a look at the site and see how you can max out your gear and tactics so you can get the effects you want.
