It's sensible to bring as many as 6-7 rogues for much of that content.
Near the end of vanilla, rogue scaling starts to fall behind fury warrior. Paired with the fact your 13/15 naxx raid will need eight T3 warriors, it's not uncommon for guilds to start taking as few as 2-3 rogues, and using more fury warriors. And rogue is the second most popular class, which means the difficulty of getting into the raid you want to be in will only increase with time.
This.
I remember doing AQ40 progression, years ago on my rogue, and being pretty pissed off about the DPS scaling that happened in raids.
If you don't want 'hardcore,' and want to stick to MC/ONY/BWL, keep playing a rogue, otherwise, learn to play politics to keep your raid spot.
