I fear there still isn't much to be found regarding rogues.

However, according to Mania there is a rumor going around which speculates that bite might be changed to become much the same as claw. A result of this would mean that any previous attempts to determine hunter pet DPS will have to be looked at again. Wolves might actually become viable pets again. Hopefully you managed to get a ghost wolf while you were able to do so. Owls and bats would probably become more mainstream as raid debuffs as well.

There's also a list on the EJ forums displaying some new pet skills. Keep in mind that some of these might actually be NPC or player abilities instead.
