Grinding Advice for Rogues
Rogues, there are only 2 things to consider when looking for a good grinding spot: Are the mobs wearing cloth, and are they melee or casters? For maximum efficiency, they must be cloth wearers. You'll go through them much more quickly than beasts or armored mobs. If they are melee, fight a few to find out what kind of damage they do to you, and judge if it's worth it. If they are casters, well, you've got it made. Low health, squishy armor, and casts you can interrupt, what more could you ask for?
Now, there are tons of spots in the world to grind mobs, but most people don't need to grind until 70, as you're better off questing before then. So, I will offer my 2 favorite spots with squishtastic mobs, and good rewards. If anyone would like me to add spots for other level ranges, leave a comment and I will!
Deadwind Pass: The ogres in Deadwind (Deadwind Brutes, Deadwind Maulers and Deadwind Ogre Mages) are actually fairly weak. As a Rogue, you should just breeze through them. They drop lots of Runecloth, and of course, some silver and copper. The birds that fly around are weak in hitpoints/armor, but do decent damage and have a DoT they constantly use. Unless you're combat specced, I'd avoid them, as being dotted will ruin an ambushing Rogue's efficiency.
The Legion Hold, Shadowmoon Valley: If you haven't guessed, this is one of my favorite places ever to grind. Look for Wrathwalkers, as they are all over the place. They drop Netherweave by the truckload, also rep items you can sell/turn in. At the top of Legion Hold, where the infernals are, you will find Shadow Council Warlocks. These mobs are just too easy, and also drops tons of cloth and good greens. Low hitpoints, and all they do is cast Shadow Bolt. If you're 70, they will likely only get through one cast before dying, which you will interrupt anyway. VERY little downtime here, folks. The respawn rate seems to vary, but even with 3 people here at once, you will never have to wait for a target. The Warlocks in particular are a nice grind, as they have the chance to drop Recipe: Fel Strength Elixer, if you're an Alchemist.
Remember Rogues, bring bandages, bring lots of food, and bring empty bags. Enjoy the grind!

That's cool. Makes me wish I was a rogue. But I guess the same spots would be good for a hunter (me). Pets can interrupt (Intimidation), and if the pet has aggro (what am I saying, of course it'll have aggro), the Mend Pet HoT ought to do the trick.
Are these spots super-suitable for other classes too? It does sound like the place exists for rogues, though :)
This spot is really suitable for any class. Mages would destroy the low health mobs, hunters too, fury/arms warriors take them out no problem. Really, the only class that may have less efficiency would be a priest. Since the mobs are demons/warlocks, I imagine they have some resistance to shadow.
