Its not that bad. I have a 39 troll rogue on Mannoroth (dual wielding with swords, currently the sword of omen and the speedsteel rapier), and while he of course misses a good bit, he is attacking so quickly it doesnt matter. Besides, stealthing up behind someone, cheap shotting them to knock them out for 4 seconds, then spamming sinister strike, and you have frontloaded unbelievable damage *and* have 4/5 combo points before they even can move. Within 5 seconds of their coming to, you have all five combo points and can unleash a huge finishing move. Add to that a build and armor that emphasizes critical strikes, and he cranks out huge damage. He regularly takes on creeps 4 levels above him without going below 1/3 life, and so far the only players within 2-3 levels able to kill me have been druids--entangling roots once Im somewhat low on HP so I cant sprint, and with a rogue's low HP, he's done.
