well my prot pally is level 43 now and at 41 i cn safely say rogues aint that hard as prot spec. Unless they r rly chicken and just restealth every other hit. I was fighting a mob, rogue jumped me, i killed them both with still over 1k of the 2.2k hp i had. 10 minutes later that same rogue and a 44 (yes 3 levels higher) fury warrior both jumped me. Got them both to about 20% hp with myself at around 500 left and they both ran, a nearby mage managed to get the warrior, the rogue got away
=( Thats my story, dunno about other peoples experiences


P.S. No my gear was not amazing in the least, still using a level 20 leather belt from sfk.
