As a rogue I think most raids are better off with a mage or damage specced warrior.

I wouldn't necessarily call that a mazimized group. There are definite reasons for having a rogue over a mage or damage specced warrior.
1. Rogue has higher armor and single target sustained DPS than a mage. Rogues in general last longer in "oh sh*t!" moments than a mage.
2. Rogues have higher dps than a damage specc'd warrior. A properly talented warrior can come close but not higher than a rogue. I wouldn't necessarily turn away a damage specc'd warrior in favor of a rogue but I wouldn't be looking for one either.
3. Barring AoE attacks or "oh sh*t!" moments a rogue doesn't have the downtime a mage would have.
Then again I like playing the game casually so I may not be the best person to go to for an answer on this. ;)
