I generally don't agree, but then again the first mob to go down is rarely tanked if I'm MT because it's somewhat poitless with a Cheap shot / Kidney shot rogue along.

If the rogue does a CS, SS, SS, KS, then:
1) they aren't going to pull aggro with that combo
2) they are significantly mitigating damage done
3) they have a significant amount of time to apply Crippling poison, so whoever the mob does go after has another 5-10 seconds of delay before it gets there.

Any regular elite mob in an instance will go down before he hits anyone in this scenario provided you have decent focus fire... so this allows you plenty of time for building aggro on other mobs. Essentially the rogue is able to CC an additional mob with this combo, at the same time as giving the tank a chance to secure aggro on the next focus target(s)

That's the way I see it. In the normal grouping on Terenas Alram's rogue is generally doing this and the healers have had very positive things to say about him switching to using this as a regular opener vs. Ambush.

If they aren't Cheap-shotting, then they're going to ambush, which often crits, doing a ton of early damage. I don't know how you're finding CS more difficult to hold aggro against than Ambush. Perhaps you are asking the rogue to stop doing the wrong thing, you may want to ask him to KS instead of eviscerate on the opening combo.
