Rangers are a finesse class. Few people notice when the ranger tops off the enchanter and the shaman between mobs, roots the mob with mez aggro next to the tank, keeps the small strength buff on the melee in the absence of druid or shaman, snares and roots or kites adds, or switches to bow damage and stays alive during an aoe fight. They just notice that the dps number from ranger isn't as big as rogue and the rogue can drag corpses after a wipe.
Most people just want a big hammer to use on every problem--complete heal, disease clowd, mez, mage pet, lich, slow. They want to use a big overpowered ability and not worry about doing the little things. That's why most druids, rangers, paladins and warriors suck right now. All those classes are about doing the small things. There's no one button to mash.
