There's a HUGE difference between tanking as sub and DPSing as Mut in a fight that requires high raid DPS.

Thats because you are retarded.

A sub spec Rogue tanking Illidan has NO bearing on this argument. For two reasons:
1. That is a MASSIVE exception to the rule. Maybe 1 in one million rogues could do that.(I'm including having a guild be willing to support that in those numbers, obviously many more people would have the skill but not have the resources to do it).
2. Tanking something /=/ DPSing something.

If you brought a Muti Rogue to Brutallus you would either need to have the Rogue Tanking or healing. Hey guess what, we can't heal at all. Thus he would have to be tanking, oops we can't do that either. So he would be DPSing, and doing sub-par DPS in a fight that requires you to be doing more DPS than any other encounter in the game.

So until you acutally have a thought relevant to the discussion please shut up.

EDIT:



Hehe, yea...we don't have that problem anymore. When we first started on VR we were alot less geared, not to mention since there is no attunement anymore it is much more likely to have under-geared players.

I think that giving Rogues a poison that increases some kind of DPS like hemo does would be cool. Perhaps one that stacks up to 5 and increases the damage done by bleed effects by 3%. That would synergize nicely with wars, other rogues, druids and the new Death Knights as i think they're going to be getting bleed effects as well. It would definitely make subtlelty rogues pump out a little more dps. Kind of like an anti-coagulant or "blood thinner". Just a thought, I think it wouldn't be too OP to implement and would work nicely with other melee. A guild could then put a hemo rogue in a raid spot solely for the hemo and the poison debuff while the other rogues just put on instant/deadly. Here's hoping someone important at Blizz sees this :)
