Yes, at least I am. You're just speaking in ******, so forgive some posters if they don't understand you.

It would be great if rogues didn't have to spec optimally do do their best DPS. I would get on my knees and praise God for smiting the evil wizard at Blizzard (lolirhymed) who made there be "optimal" specs.
The sad truth is that that's not the case. God hasn't busted out his rank eleventy-bazillion chain lightning. So we're stuck speccing optimally.
And, BTW, when I've said it's OK to spec ShS for Kara, I've said that you have to be geared. I don't think it's acceptable to do Kara as anything but combat until you're at least to Vashj/Kael, and I tell my guildies that when they want me to go on their scrub Kara runs.

Because if you could down Brutallus by mashing your face on the keyboard with no talent points whatsoever, Brutallus would not require an optimal spec!
Yeah, and the number of fights in this game that have soft enrages is ridiculous. When you have X amount of time to kill a boss, guess what? If that rogue isn't specced optimally, he's just putting your group in more danger, just like a priest that comes to raid specced disc and thinking he can PW:S tanks and melee that get threat to mitigate damage, or that hunter that comes specced MM thinking that "TSA IZ A GR8 GRP BUFF GUIZ LOL".
It's stupid, obtuse, and completely the wrong attitude to have. If you're letting people spec sub-optimally, the best you'll ever do is
maybe get Illidan down.
