Question about rogues vs. us

It's been few days I'm playing battlegrounds (all of them) and overall I just love it. Being a ranged DPS and being a "all vs. all" I do not care if our class is good or bad in 1vs1, 2vs2 or whatever. I have a lot of fun and -even if still learning- I manage to properly use cooldowns and traps to really shine (at least from my point of view).
Now to the question: how are rogues supposed to be "avoided" when they get you from behind? I noticed that every single time I am caught unprepared (usually while capping a flag for example) I just see the same scene. Blood, puffs of green smoke, stuns. I cannot use any ability of my aresenal, I just have to wait to be killed.
What's the trick in this situation? Flare can help to sneak them, yes... but what can I do if I just get sapped and soon-to-be-attacked?

feign death is kinda retarded for pvp imo but i see alot of other hunters using
Feign... for what? It can work for a completely clueless rogue only :)

Same, snake trap and Feign Death, forces the rogue to target the next thing attacking them, buying you a few seconds.

FD also interrupts a spell cast directed at you, which I find immensely helpful against casters.
Never thought about that... good tips. You see I'm still a n00b in PvP. But considering what I was expecting (no fun) it was a big surprise.

Playing a Rogue, I can tell you that hunters are alot tougher to kill if I cannot stealth.
Well yes, in that specific case being MM/SV specced I have tons of tricks to deal with a non-stealthed rogue. Disarm, slow, disengage, slow again, Readiness... etc. Problem is when I start seeing puffs of green smoke and blood: by the time I see them, every single ability is like dead and I am too.

I hate using flare because it's slow. You have to cast it, choose a position and wait the damned animation. It's a lot of time. It works when you defend a specific zone (flag, entrances, a room, ...) but in the middle of a duel it takes too much time. Also it's radius is... not that good.

BM laughs at rogue's stun lock, so, not really fair... hehe
Anyway... If the rogue is smart, he will use Dismantle pretty soon, so, unless you have a titanium weapon chain (which you should) you'll be stuck with 10 secs without being able to do nothing, not even Deterrance.
Your best be is...
Wait for the second stun (they chain two stuns, the second is longer), trinket, Scatter, Frost trap, Disengage, Master Call, Concussion Shot, then proceed to damage him while kitting.
