Tank gets knocked back, causing him to lose aggro, 1-2 Rogues die before someone else can gain aggro? So Rogues go from being the most valuable class versus Ragnaros to one that becomes risky to use?
In a nutshell, yeah. He has this big knockback attack that causes the main tank to get flung away and lose aggro, and if people try to use the pre-patch tactic of going maximum all-out dps on him, then yeah all those high dps rogues are toast. However, from the hints people are giving without giving full details (It's interesting how secretive people are being now), it seems that one can still control the fight if one has a backup tank ready to go and if you don't have your rogues go all out in full dps mode. Also, I have a feeling that I think people are standing in the wrong spots now, so those rogues are getting hit with more lava damage than they should be. It's all speculation for me, though, since we haven't tried Ragnaros since Tuesday.

Nah, that's not true. Have your main tank tank him against the back wall, so that he doesn't get knocked back by the Prince. Also, have everyone come in close to the Prince so that if the main tank does end up losing aggro at some point, the tank can quickly taunt him and get it back again. It's only when parties scatter and run around chaotically that the Prince has a chance to win that fight.
