Yes, you can make a weapon master from a rogue, it just takes longer than it would for a fighter, reason being number of feats fighters get.
As for Dodge/Mobility, if you have the min dex to get the feats, then your in, problem is that lock/trap skills are also dex dependant, and use the dex bonus you have in addition to the points you actually assign there.
Another consideration is Epic Dodge, where the first attack of every round, from every enemy involved, misses. I can tell you, that is extremely useful against some enemies, and can save your chars life, depending on your ac, they may not be able to hit you on less than a 20 after their first attack, and this cuts down on the number of crits as well. At least, devastating ones...Epic dodge requires a 25 dex, plus Dodge, Improved Evasion, Defensive Roll, and 30 ranks in tumble. That last will add an additional 6 points of ac, as a dodge modifier. I'd say, best bet is high dex and light armor.
