But, well, neither do spells. +minor amounts of damage aside.

The difference is, mana is directly dependent on your attributes, which means a naked caster has at maximum 2.5k mana and will run out of that in about 5 to 8 casts (which is not enough damage to take someone out) while the naked rogue depends on energy which renews automatically gaining 20 points every second. This is the crux of the problem with naked rogues and the flat damage of eviserate. The rogue can do a couple attacks to build up combo points, gouge to get a little energy regen and get a combo point while doing so and finally build up to 5 combo points and hit cold blood followed by eviserate doing 1800 damage automatically. 1800 damage, even with 50% damage mitigation is still 15% to 25% of any character's health (varies depending on total health, some classes will take more damage, others will take less depending on what armor they wear).

In essence, Blizzard has to relook at how eviserate works and they have to make it scale based on damage of the weapon used. This video shows that flat damage does not work for this skill. The other aspects of the rogue I have no issue with since they scale based on weapon used, but eviserate does not and it should (as the author of the video shows by his antics).
