For all those spell casting classes who complain about resto druids
being hard to kill, please just roll a warrior or rogue.

Not a Rogue - I can't kill an equally geared druid in any reasonable
time.  I can make one of two choices with respect to talents:

Not my experience, I have 380+- resilience and a rogue with equal gear
is a tough opponent, but 1v1 battles aren't even a true reflection of
PvP. Rogues are my most annoying class in arena and BGs, both places
where you will seldom fight 1v1 battles.

If a rogue gets on me in arena they are impossible to shake if they
time their CCs with their partner.

I would agree that they are difficult to shake if they are shadowstep
rogues but they wouldn't be able to kill you quickly if they were 1v1.

No, but my experience is that rogues can kill me 1v1, just not all
rogues.

Myself and a warrior just could not
beat a mage / rogue team last night. Lost to them 3 times. Too much cc
available to keep the warrior busy while they just nuked me.

I imagine that a mage / rogue team would be very difficult.  The
warrior would really struggle to take out either class due to their
mobility and roots/snare and both can be on you all the time.  If the
warrior goes for either the rogue or the mage then that leaves the
other one to get you with no interruptions.  If the warrior goes for
the mage then the mage can still attack you whilst kiting the warrior.

That's correct.

I'm tired
of reading posts saying how resto druids are overpowered. Nerf rogues
and warriors! The rest are ok, except frost shock spamming shamans are
damn annoying.

Now you are doing the same as the people who are tiring you.

Learn to read sarcasm over the internet Steve! ;-)

My experience is that Rogues aren't overpowered*.  We really struggle
with a lack of burst damage or a lack of mobility - we can't have
both.  We can kill cloth dps, but struggle against plate dps. We
struggle against all druids.  We struggle against healers.  I struggle
against hunters if they have the Beast Within talent available but
otherwise they are not a problem.  Enhancement Shamans can also cause
me problems.

My main issue with rogues isn't their burst damage, it's that they are
so hard to shake off while continuing to do big sutained damage and
applying poisons. I have to continually cast abolish poison, while
keeping hots on myself, while trying to get out of line of sight from
their partner and keep in los of my own, all while moving at a snails
pace because of damn poisons and anything their partner can do. And
amongst this I have to watch my partners health. I hate coming up
against rogues in arena.

And as I indicated, it's possible for a warrior to just flat out nuke
me with ms debuff applied. It's not always so extreme of course.
