You have absolutely no idea of what competitive arena is like for rogues. And if you did have the slightest clue what it is really like you wouldn't keep referring to these completely ridiculous stun lock statements.
Let's assume that your assumption is true. The next logical step then becomes that arena would be dominated by rogues stunlocking everyone since they would never have a chance to fight back.
This is obviously not the case, just like the top 20 arena figures prove. Keep ignoring the facts.
You're overwhelmingly biased against rogues; that much is obvious. There is nothing objective nor logical to what you are saying about the class.
Logically it would follow that I do know what arenas are like, if my claim is that rogues don't do well here because they're used to easy mode stunlocking in BGs & duels... try to keep up. Obviously stunlocking doesn't work out as well here, which is why they feel in over their heads in arenas and haven't done well. The class still brings a lot to the table though, they just need to learn a bit. I predict they'll do much better as S2 progresses.
Go to the rogue forum, ask 2k+ rated rogues for advice. 9/10 will probably inform you that your mother is a prostitute, but the 10th might have some words of wisdom.
ps - Arenas aren't the only type of pvp in this game. World pvp is inescapable on pvp servers, and a great deal of people still enjoy battlegrounds. Personally I find arenas boring, it's like a dueling system with rewards. Where are the flags, the other objectives, the points? I think arenas were put in to address the alliance queue complaint and to pacify people who were too confused by the purpose of flags in battlegrounds x_x I'd pay to be as powerful as rogues in overall PvP. I'd trade my 70 shaman w/ epic mount in almost full epics regardless of which gear suit he's in (pvp, pve dps, resto) for a NAKED 70 rogue. Hell, mkae it 60 - I could make some money levelling up. For rogues to complain about arenas is absurd on more than one level.

Resto shamans will. Enhancement shamans will die in 5 seconds, elementals in 10.
