Bad idea. Get out of that habit. Aspect of the Hawk and Aspect of the Monkey should be used more often. Aspect of the Cheetah should be turned on when traveling or chasing someone.

Can other Hunters comment on how they deal with being surprised by a rogue? Is there anyone who can reliably win?
It depends on what kind of situation you're talking about. If you're talking about vs solo gankers or something, then what I always did was place a freezing trap at my feet before sending my pet out to tank a mob I'm going to take down. I caught so many rogues that way in the beta with my hunter. You can also use scatter shot and wing clip -- although if the rogues are smart they'll use poisons to slow you down as well.
The main way to deal with rogues as a hunter, though, is to detect them first. If you're talking about a Hillsbrad situation where you know there are rogues about, then freezing traps, flares, and Detect Hidden all help a lot. Hunters are an anti-rogue force if they set their minds to it.
