On pvp servers rogue is very entertaining
You can do things other classes can't - I've seen 50 Horde players in jitters in the Auction House because we think there's an alliance rogue in the room. This was shortly after the Orgrimmar bankers got killed by rogues, effectively closing the bank for a short while
You have a hunter killer role in mass pvp, and are great at countering lurk-at-the-back healers. For most classes pvp is often indecisive, this is less so with a rogue and killing or being killed is more fun than I-hit-him-a-bit-then-he-healed, then he-hit-me-a-bit-but-I-healed
The downside is that stealth against players is crap until you level up quite high (higher than I've got to with my rogue, my druid at 38 can use it effectively against players quite often)
Your high damage lets you level fast so and you can often complete quests without having to grind through ranks of vanilla monsters
There has been official acknowledgement that there is an issue with rogues and high end area effect mobs so current woes are likely to be addressed at some point, possibly by additional rogue-friendly content rather than a revision of current content
