Rogue / Rogue 2v2 Arena Strategy
Double rogue is perhaps the most exciting and exacting 2v2 matrix you can choose to play as a rogue. While many players see the matrix as an insta-gib team, true veteran players understand the perfection required in order to attain victory. While the learning curve for this matrix is quite steep, mastering it will reward players with an exhilarating experience unlike any other in the 2v2 bracket.
Rogue Arena Talent Specs
Generally speaking you are going to be want to be shadowstep spec. A traditional 20/0/41 allows you to have maximum mobility, survivability, and solid burst on command when required. Ideally you’ll want one rogue to have improved expose armor. This will allow you to really put the pressure on priests and other low armor classes that you can bomb on.
I’d suggest dropping 2 points out of vile poisons to get the 2 points in expose armor, though lethality may also be an option if you’re not a fan of crit based RNG.
While I rarely will deviate from the tried and true shadowstep build, I believe with practice an old school AR / prep build may also be beneficial. Now, I want to preface this with a warning…this type of build is not for everyone. It never really fit my play style, and it still does not today.
That said, if you’re comfortable operating without cheat death and the quite different play style required to master the spec, I believe you could pull it off. For AR / prep I’d go with a standard 0/31/30 or a 0/33/28 (with stun resist / fear talent).

Keep in mind for those questionable about Rogue/Rogue due to racials:
Racials are by no means mandatory, and each one can find its uses; however, this doesn’t mean some aren’t better than others.
Undead: Will of The Forsaken can help on fear dependent CC teams(Like Rogue/lock)
Humans: Helps when you go against other stealther comps
Dwarf: Can buy you the vanish against warriors, and other rogues
Night Elf: Can be used to grab shadow eyes(Meld right by the eye spawn point, wait for stealth cooldown, grab the eye, restealth immediately)
Gnome: Escape Artist can be handy against classes that like to really kite or lock you down
Blood Elf: Arcane Torrent can buy the kill against healers
Troll: Almost nobody expects you to be a troll*Courtesy of Zuggy*, and extra attack speed: Why not?!
Orcs: Stun resist can pull through in a pinch
Everyone has their uses nevertheless the skill of the players also is important
