Actually it is very very hard to build a "bad" rogue. Rogues don't have bad talents really. They have several viable play styles but you need to approach what you do differently with each build. This is a good thing. A combat rogue does not play like an assassination rogue or subtlety rogue.
Keep in mind that many cookie cutter builds are for PvP reasons as well. Since pretty much any build can work in PvE, it's maximizing PvP damage or utility that a lot of the cookie cutters are going for.

I understand all of what you are saying, I'm just trying to see how viable the builds most people don't use are. You are right about Rogues though. As I ran through their skill tree, I saw a variety of ways for them to be built and still be really successful.
