It takes more than Perception to kill a good rogue. Getting the jump is HUGE, but I have other rogues get the jump on me while I'm killing something else often and I kill them more than they kill me. Its kinda like the World of Roguecraft videos say "When little kids in school ask what class to play in WoW all their friend say Rogue." Good Luck, and I hope your in the Nightfall BG so we can meet someday.
Yeah, you kill rogues more than they kill you even if they jump on you while you're another target. Either you have much better gear or much better skill. Congratulations, you're the best. In both cases, totally irrelevant for the question asked.
If you want to play areneas, go human, no question asked. If you have doubt, download arena rogues' videos and note the difference: the human rogues activates perception and goes hunting. Can easily see other rogues and druids, chooses whoever he wants to sap (or multisap to unstealth all), then open on a target. It's just huge. Now that I've seen that, tbh, I'm afraid to go out hunting as a NE rogue... and I'm rerolling a human.
So if you want to do arenas, here's my advice: human all the way.
