Ever heard of the talents Combat Potency or Dual Weild Specialization? Haste rating? Poisons? These all greatly benefit from having a high hit rating. Around 50+ % of a combat rogue's damage comes from auto attack alone. You say you are a sword rogue and that you understand game mechanics, I have to disagree. Are you in 2 pieces of T5 and the rest greens, seriously? I don't even have a piece of gear from beyond Moroes and unbuffed I have 25.62% crit, 1448 atk power and 175 hit rating and 7884, my sword doesn't have stats on it either.

A friend of mine has 300 hit rating, 26.75 crit, 1598 AP and 8574 health whilst still wearing blues and only 3 pieces of T4.
Either you are lying or you need to learn to itemize better, but coming from your last comment you don't seem to take criticism very well.
