The magician epic is coming soon to a hate mini near you. That pet does more damage than a monk without disc and has 4k base life to offtank in hate break ins where you can't mezz the golems or in The Hole where there are non mezzable adds. With enchnater mana pump you will lay out so much dps that you won't notice the lack of a rogue. With a warrior and monk you will need to control the attack direction of your pet to interrupt casting mobs like DEs, Yendar, hate gaters, Queen, and ice comit frogs in Seb, etc. With summon companion in your 30s you won't ever have to worry about pet training ever again. Park you pet, move with the group and summon it to you when you get there.
You don't need a rogue to corpse drag because you have a monk for just that. Not having Lockpocking doors is going to bother you when you do HS and if you want to single group chardok royals. Monks can scout pathers for dungeon crawls just like rogues.
The only thing you lose out on by not going rogue is a sneak tagger. If your warrior is a halfling then you have that. If not you will need a good monk until the mage is 55 and can CoTH. The only time you will HAVE to sneak tag something the monk can't solo pull is higher level things that can't be mezzed by the enchanter, such as breaking tola and juggs...and you will be 55 by then.
If you all join a raiding guild together you won't regret either choice.

I need to clarify a comment I made. I said you won't regret either class for raiding. That is only true outside of VP. The Hoshkar aoe is going to wreck your pet. If you don't have the epic pet then you would be using 3.2k hp earth pet and one aoe puts you to 50% health on it. two waves and you are done. VP works better as a rogue because you will be spamming your Wort Pots. You cannot do that on a mage pet. (however, the mage pet will not flip the dragon at 20% like a player will so that's definitely something to consider once you have the epic 4k hp pet.) This is only slightly true for NToV. There they appreciate your power to CoTH.
PS: No, you won't have time to HP buff your pet either if a VP dragon pops.
PSS: What nubs in VP don't know is that you can use your pet to park on the ramp and send it in to blow the first aoe, should the puller not do it in time. Also you have 2x DA (shiny brass idol and your sky ring.)
