Most fun I've had is rooftop sniping in Gadgetzan. Wandered in there to complete a quest, to see an undead Warlock on top of the inn, shooting all kinds of crap at anyone stupid enough to get close to him. Eventually he dies (and I die defending him, taking down a gnome mage in the process), and he shows me how to hop up. Once up there, he dots, and I shoot my gun and toss various explosives. Guards can't reach us, and neither can the melee Alliance. Fast forward about half an hour, both sides have called in backup, and both sides have taken positions on nearby building roofs. We eventually forced them out of Gadgetzan, and then killed their wind rider master out of spite :)

I hope you mean the Inn rooftop, not the awning on top of the Auction House. The AH awning is bugged such that you become invisible and impossible to target while on top of it. Note these two pictures taken moments apart:

The tauren didn't move.
Using that spot is pure exploit.
I personally think of any town roof camping as cheap/ganking, but I realize that's a matter up for debate. I do always make sure to mind control any perpetrators off and into the waiting arms of the bruisers.
Really though, they just need to give every third guard a gun.
