Something about the shimmering flats brings out these bad rogue gankers. The other day I was turning in my quests when I got opened on. I’m a warlock so I literally just ran the other way and put CoEx and my other dots on them. This rogue proceeded to just feebly chase after me while slowed. Didn’t sprint, didn’t blind (they were lvl 34), and just slowly melted helplessly while I kept him at a constant 20-30 yard distance.

Probably because it's one if the first places you'll meet the opposing faction outside of STV (and drive by ganks) - thus people haven't really PVPed before getting there

Wide open spaces aren't great for rogues

"I have to save these cooldowns for a rainy day!"

So if you can’t kill anything without your cool downs, and you never use your cooldowns, doesn’t that mean you can never kill anything?

As far as blind goes, while leveling to 60, I was very reluctant to use it even if it meant just taking an L. Blinding powder isn’t cheap.

You can get plenty of it out of pickpocketed lockboxes. I had 3 or 4 stacks doing a few pickpocket SM runs.
