In regards to my setup, I have a main bar visible in combat with skils that I need in combat, another bar with cooldowns, professions, and trinkets that I can mouseover to see, and the rest of my skills are hidden away on hidden bars that I have down by memory. A small bank of buttons also appears in combat to show how many consumables I have left and my timered skills.
A screenshot wouldn't show much, as I'm a minimalist and even in combat I just have like 2 bars show up :P
I don't have a different setup for PvP since most of the skills are exactly the same, you just use them slightly differently.
Regarding use of UI mods vs. the default Blizz hotkeys - I feel you can get by without them as a rogue since so many of our skills do not have cooldown worth monitoring. Drop the ones with cooldowns greater than one minute in a visible spot and shove the rest on other hotkey bars and remember where they are. This hotkey setup should be doable with the default Blizzard UI, it's just enough buttons if I counted right.
Main bar (Bar 1) is mostly set up for my convenience in combat and out of combat. It's the way I remember it, so it's not optimized.

6 - Blind
7 - Rammstein's Lightning Bolts
