Rogue life is rough in classic, more so if it's your first character.
Come Kunark though that all changes with the epic + all the other great melee loot.

I think Double Backstab made a big difference too, and I agree that Rogues were probably one of the best DPS classes in the entire game early expac because they had super easy access to their epics (I got my epic the same day I started the quest). Late Kunark I feel like Rogues started to fall off again because getting a decent off-hand was really hard. Like for instance, Warriors, Rangers and Monks who had their epics dealt pretty insane damage because of the off-hands that accompanied them. I was using a 10/21 blood point offhand for most of the expac and long after the warriors and rangers in my guild had access to a 14/24 and 13/21 with really good procs on them. I remember competing with my ranger for DPS in raids and consistently losing after he got his epic. Was really hard to get a better item on my server at the time and I spent months camping a sebilite croaking dirk and never got one, and being super jealous of all of the classes that got an off-hand as part of their epic quest.
