A Warrior has minimal ranged abilities and virtually NO crowd-control abilities, both of which are ESSENTIAL to proper pulling. A Hunter is probably the best puller, combining exceptional ranged attacks, strong HP, decent armor, and a pet to make the easiest pulling possible. A Rogue, OTOH, comes in second, FAR above any Warrior. We have ranged attacks (Thrown most notable, but Bows and Crossbows we can use, as well), Stealth (aside from a Mage casting Invisibility on someone, there's no one else who can move around undetected), and a plethora of crowd control and aggro REDUCING skills. As such, we are fully equipped to deal with pulling a mob, and then losing the aggro.

Stealth is nice, but I've always thought pulling with a rogue was not right. Give up your opener so you can throw a knife at VC? Anyone can shoot a gun at a mob, there's nothing that makes the rogue more able to do this than any other calss. Scouting is one thing, but pulling is quite another.

IMO it's much better for the party as a whole for the rogue(s) to stay stealthed for the pull. Let the warrior or hunter pull then hit an opener on the primary target... Garrotte does good DOT, Cheap Shot will give your tank a little time without being beat on.
