Even with poisons they can't really keep up and they have less survivability. Might try a ranged one next, anyone tried out Rangers?Ranger sucks, rogues rock. I can't believe you're discarding the only class that can actually use bombs. BOMBS, MAN. BOMBS. I'm a motherf*cking terrorist stealthing around, planting traps and bombin' shit.
That said, rogues go behind and you better do something like what Teemer said earlier in the thread; hurl your points in a 1-str, 2-cun pattern. That way you can still wield sufficiently good weapons until and get a dmg boost before you can get the talent to switch the damage enhancing from str over to cun and therefore get shitloads of damage. Above all however;
ROGUES GO IN FROM BEHIND.
If you need anymore advice from the rogue-class, just ask away. I haven't completed the game as a rogue yet, but I got 6 or 7 different rogues stacked away somewhere in this game.
Addendum; I'm now going 2 str - 1 dex on Alistair each time he levels. Dexterity is the only stat that boosts all different states of defense and therefore the ultimate tanking stat, so until I get strength up to tanking gear level I'm using this pattern. The reason your Leilana might die less is because afaik she starts out with more dexterity as being originally intended to be a ranged rogue and start out with more dex.
