Just in case you find some Rogues who are a bit... put off by that notion, or have trouble adapting to it. It may not be because they're jerks, but rather simply because they're so used to ripping through things that by that point in time, the mob is generally already at or below 50% health. ;)
Just an observation from a fellow Rogue. Personally, I have no qualms with waiting a second or two to open with my Ambush, although 5 seconds may be pushing it on non-boss mobs. :P But, then, I rarely stun unless it's needed. The cooldown on Kidney Shot is 20 seconds, and that's one of my "Oh Fudge" skills. ;) Quick 1-2 sinister Strike and then Kidney shot or Gouge for some breathing time (Improved Gouge usually allows me to bandage up to 50% health, which is generally all a Rogue ever needs in a fight). But that's all solo anyway. :D

With all due respect Roland, Mavfin and Treesh are talking about elite mobs. A rogue opening up before I judge seal of fury on Sharanna or sunder/demo on Shalandrax is asking to watch the fight from floor level in the later instances. 5 seconds waiting in those battles is not long at all...
Edit: Changed the name from Darian to Mavfin. Sorry Mav!
