What I love watching, though, is when I'm with two rogues... and they act in unison as an off-tank, bouncing the aggro back and forth between them so one of them is always behind the mob. It's a thing of beauty... ;)

Depending on the mob and the situation Treesh and I will do that with Eth and Taranna in cat form. Sure the cat does not have the rogue DPS, but we'll both stealth around and then one of us will use the ambush style skill (ravage for druid) to open the fight, the other will then use their ambush style skill since they were positioned to sneak up and do it. Then the backstab style skills (shred for druid) will be used by whoever has them. We can't bounce as well as I would like since I need to crit to pull aggro, but we can devestate mobs that way as well. My starfire, wrath, Faerie Fire, moonfire pull order with Treesh waiting in stealth works well. I will usually still have aggro after that so she can get one back stab in. I put the FF before moonfire now because of how quick a lot of critters charge. I want it to go off before Treesh does the ambush. I'll also flop into bear and taunt to keep backs towards her if need be. The druid rogue combo is just a lot of fun. So much versatility and a lovely source of DPS.
But I've often wondered when we are playing stealth buddies what two rogues would be like. But I figure the druids versatility just benefits us more. :)
