Rogues fulfill to much of a niche roll to fit well into duos/solos. Duos and trios are dominated by classes that are more well-rounded: see ENC, SHM, MNK, SK. Then you have the powerhouses of specialties: pulling - MNK, SK, CC - ENC, solo - NEC, healing - CLR. Basically, DPS is secondary in duo situations to things like solo pulling or out-tanking/healing the incoming hits, so they get the shaft.
But crypt (entry) requires a rogue, so you're not completely SOL for the cash.
As for Velious. The Kael plate cycle is a 1-2 group farming one that definitely requires some DPS to keep ahead of the spawn. I'd imagine East Wing of TOV will be on similar farm status for a while. And there should be a faction farming group in Kael arena until dragons like people.
