They were much better before the sneak nerf though!
For post-kunark, I totally agree. I was mainly talking about in classic era (pre-evade even), where they can't really do anything but auto-attack and their best weapon is 9/31 if they're a twink. As you say, theoretically they could tank or pull, but most rogues won't or simply aren't geared for it. There's also tricks like swapping in SBD to snare, but I don't think I've ever seen that in action in a pug. I suppose drag/rez can still be pretty useful depending on the camp.
