Sneak/lock pick are irrelevant and highly situational. Had sneak pulling not been nerfed, I might have agreed with you.
A rogue simply does not offer enough over a mage in a duo. A rogue is more ideal in a 4 man competition where you already have multiple other roles covered.

Both a Mage and a Rogue are just DPS in a Shaman duo. The Mage doesn't really have anything else in their toolkit a Shaman needs. It's simply a question of do you prefer occasional burst with med breaks (Mage), or consistent higher melee DPS (Rogue).
Sneak/lockpick is going to be used more than CoTH, unless you are doing something very specific. The only time where this may not be the case is if both players are super experienced, and never die or need to use sneak for scouting purposes.
You are correct a naked Mage is better than a naked Rogue because Mages have better DPS naked. So it would be tempting to pick a Mage over a Rogue when playing untwinked characters.
