Biased but whatever. I think rogues are great. Like Supa said they are second to none for sustained DPS. After that there are so many small roles rogues can play during raids/groups that make the class a pleasure to learn inside and out.

For example, with the recent sneak changes, rogues are probably 1b with monks in terms of pulling. Rogues have the advantage of much better resist gear so they are less squishy when pulling casters. Plus if you role a dwarf you get a +5 MR boost. For raids, a competent monk/rogue pull team can work wonders.

Sneaking through dungeons is a ton of fun. Try to find new ways to get to past all those pesky see invis mobs to get to your group. You'll be surprised I think at the skill involved in getting your timing, the mob pathing, and positioning just so to avoid agro so that you can scamper by and get the corpse of your fallen group mate.

Rogues are probably the best melee class for farming stuff due to their DPS output. If you are lucky enough to obtain a thornstinger and Mrylokar's BP, you can kill low level mobs endlessly and essentially farm an entire dungeon.

Also, consider becoming a poison maker, if for no other reason than to be able to snare your opponent when doing PvP.

I suspect if you master any class, you find lots of intricacies that you wouldn't have thought of before. But for me, nothing beats the risk vs reward of being a thief.
