I PvP mostly as fury so my weakness from rogues comes from cheat death, evasion and dismantle since my spec completely revolves around "ground and pound" style tactics, their stuns rarely do anything to me but it's the avoidance of combat which can make a rogue deadly for myself because I rely on out-damaging them.
Usually to fight rogues I let them do their routine and trinket their kidney shot then it goes like this:
Intimidating shot > heroic leap => Intercept> Bloodthirst > Raging blow > HS > HS >HS > Bloodthirst
If recklessness and deathwish are up one raging blow can drop a rogue from 100% to 20% at that point the begin to use dismantle, evasion and rely on the cheat death proc and if during that time they cannot successfully avoid my swings (I.E being dumb and continuing trying to out-DPS me) they'll die in under 10 seconds
But a rogues victory against a fury warrior really comes down to timing of their defensives, and if any of their defensive's are on CD they have already lost because they can't win a DPS battle

That sounds pretty boss - you're obviously one of the warriors i'd avoid unless I have support. Kidney shot or blind are the best places to trinket, situationally. Lots of people panic and trinket on cheap shots or even saps. My favorite players to lockdown are healers, though - because my time spent in the back lines locking them down while their friends are trying to capture a flag is well-spent.
Warriors were often a pain for me when the warrior knew how to dance against defensive cooldowns (popping a quick intimidating shout as soon as evasion is turned on and getting a little distance, then try to intercept before they trinket/WotF, etc). I figured out sometime in early BC/Late vanilla that when fighting MS warriors, it was actually better to pop evasion and eat the overpowers than eat everything else they'd hit you with.
Heck, i'd usually ignore warriors or just pester them with random saps/CC (unless I knew for a fact they were noobs) and let casters tear them up in a BG scenario. I'd rather be beating up healers/casters toward defending/attacking or catching some idiot feral druid by surprise. Taking them on toe-to-toe was somewhat of a dice roll. It was the only time it was actually effective to use that poison totem trinket from ZG, tho...
WoW PvP was a ton of fun
