Problem with NPC rogues is flanking and having to micro manage them to do it manually. Tactics won't allow you to get into any kind of flanking or backstab position so you need to spec for improved flanking (w/e it's called) and hope they don't hit them from the front.

Even in WoW, backstabbing has always been more trouble than its worth (at least in PvE) since you are repositioning your character for highest damage every single fight. By then, your mage has already burned them to a cinder. I am looking for a mod that will allow the AI to manuever automatically for rogues although I haven't looked as thoroughly as i'd like to. Anyone found one?
