Isolee: "Rogues are predictable and easy to stop"

Isolee got his big breaktrough after releasing an excellent RMP 3vs3 movie from BG9, where he played his Rogue and showed how the setup were supposed to be played. Not only does he play a Rogue on the highest level but also a warrior, and in a recent blog entry at Worldofming he compares both of these classes.
In his article, Isolee brings up lots of different aspects such as damage, burst, mobility, survivability, control and much more. The article is very long but definitley worth a look, here's a few clips.
- "Rogues are a delicious mix of overpowered and underpowered, there are some areas I'd love to see stripped and other areas that are terrible, yet the random bads never look at the whole picture, they see "IM STUNLOCKED, BS. OH WHAT HOW IS HE CHEATING DEATH FOR SO LONG??? ROUGES R OP.""
- "DPS is predictable and easy to stop. (Rogues)"
- "Burst is unpredictable and hard to stop. (Warriors)"
- "Not to mention warrior burst is still extremely good stacked on top of the fact that their MAIN attack puts an uncleansable 50% healing debuff on the target, which you can basically say is 50% increased damage from all people vs. that target."
- "As I have said before, my 2 main classes for quite a long time have been Rogue and Warrior, so I’m not unfamiliar with a warrior’s damage or abilities, nor would I say I’m very biased easy way, but every time I play(ed, lol) on my warrior I can’t help but think:"
"Wow, if my rogue could pressure a target like this…"

I think apart from beeing 2melee class's, thers no point comparing them.. i would say its the same if you compare Warlock vs Mage.
They'r two diferent class's with a huge diference, in terms of how you play it and how you mix your habilitys with your teams mates, in order to give the best performance when you play arenas.
Warrior can be better in many ways, but they are also really dependent on heals/dispels etc(as you said), wile a rogue even beeing a Leather user, can survive by himself alot more time.
In the end, this two class's in particulary are alot diferent, so thers not really a point when you can say rather or not one of them is better then the other.
Its the players who make every single class good then the other ones or not imo.
Buff after buff (and c'mon, don't tell me the HARP ''nerf'' was in fact a big nerf as every rogue claimed it was) the rogues got and the scaling with their gear really put them at the top of the food chain again. A real caster-killer, almost unkiteable and with abilities like CloS, Vanish, Evasion, Cheat Death it makes it nearly impossible to nuke a rogue either.
I do think some of the buffs are justified, and it's good that rogues finally have some proper setups to compete in high-end arena games, but don't look weird when you see above claimed "IM STUNLOCKED, BS. OH WHAT HOW IS HE CHEATING DEATH FOR SO LONG??? ROUGES R OP'' quote, and if you can't take those critics as a rogue, you didn't deserve to whine in s1/s2 in the first place, because rogues really have become a pain in the ass.
My rogue got stolen and my warrior got banned a few months back, but I have a new rogue, same name, same server.
