Oh, absolutely, Tim. Dagger or short sword, weapon finesse, and max DEX is a solid way to go with a pure rogue that you intend to use for sneak attacks in normal mode.

By the time you reach HOF, you probably have some sort of STR enhancing item, and your STR will probably be decent. By then, one of the best sneak attacking weapons in HOF is the 12 Paces Long Spear. Its extra reach is incredibly nasty for a sneak attacking rogue. And even if you aren't in sneak attack mode, you can hide your rogue behind your melee wall and reach over them with 12 Paces and stab away with impunity.
