Rogues are solid and sought-after in PvP. Just check out the official WoW class forums for most classes, and you'll find countless posts bitching about us. One class where you won't find said bitching, however, is the warrior. An arms warrior in season one welfare gear can and will lay a thorough prison-style raping on most rogues. It's horrible, but it goes with the territory. That said, a properly-specced rogue has pretty good mobility, outstanding damage output, and an outstanding ability to control an opponent with cooldowns and poisons. If that sounds like something you could get behind, then go right ahead and roll one. Just don't suck; we already have enough baddies giving our class a bad name.

Hmm well Nef the mindset to get into when PVPing with a rogue is do not fight fair. You are a scoundrel! I know it's stating the obvious but the whole concept of the rogue is really to not to take advantage of other player's weaknesses, but to wait until they are at their weakest then strike. Preparation and waiting until the moment suits you are the best things about being a rogue.
In battlegrounds focus on the healers with the huge amount of DPS you get and stun lock the hard targets. Resto druids and warriors are tricky but with the huge amount of tricks up your sleeve, shouldn't post a problem.
As to some techniques, I generally use stun locking, eg cheap shot, gouge, kidney shot and maybe throw in a blind to really prevent the opponent from being able to do anything while you do a lot of damage.
Bleed kiting is also fun against warriors for example. Basically you stack deadly poison and crippling poison, rupture the warrior and do a cheeky run out of melee range, regen your energy and attack again!
This is a really quick subjective summary and there's so much more to the rogue class than this. Everyone has their own way of playing this class of course, these are just my views. I would warn you though that we rogues aren't exactly looked upon favourably by many, which I think is a shame.
