Yes, you can put them together. That's your own made up criteria to weigh rogues differently. This isn't "let's focus on their strengths and what they were intended for". Its overall power, period.
Stop bringing other classes into the mix. Mages are much better duoers/trios too where a competent healer/tank isn't always present, they just mesh better with more classes.
Sure, rogues scale better in the raid scene at 60. But as you've pointed out, raiding is casual, and it's only a part of the game, so sorry, rogues are much more underpowered, doesn't make em bad though.

The strengths of a class and what they are intended for matters. Saying a Rogue sucks because they can't solo is silly, because you see more Rogues than Mages. Obviously there is something more important than just soloing in the case of a Rogue, or you wouldn't see this trend.
Rogues can scale better than Mages at 60 outside of the raid scene. You can still get great items without heavy raiding, and you don't have to worry about AI issues when it comes to Mage pets.
The problem is Mages don't have anything going for them at higher levels other than CoTH. If you aren't planning on CoTH botting, basically every other class will give you the same options or more at 60 outside of raiding.
If you want to group, Rogues and Mages basically have the same shot of getting in, because duos/trios generally don't pick dedicated DPS classes anyway. It's better to pick classes that can fill multiple roles. And in a full group both Rogues and Mages DPS just fine.
