For rogues to compete now, they have to swap their offhand twice every 12 seconds or so. Please kill this like you said you would, as it is completely ridiculous and horrible to do. Give some minor haste and white hit buffs to rogues so they can compete with the better scaling plate wearers, etc instead.

Edit - For those who do not know, weapon swapping of this manner involves getting 5 deadly stacks up (deadly on your offhand), then swapping to dual instant (or wound for some combat fights), then swapping back to deadly offhand a few seconds before the deadly stack fades. GC stated this was not an intended mechanic, and would be killed if it became too viable/prevalent, which it has.
