yeah this is the common way and makes the rogue the possibly fastest char if you have the hybrid gear for it,
but usually its easier to afford than big melee or mage gear.
in the early levels you can profit from the high dex rates since mana is low and do no regen runs easily,
mages have problems here unless you got really awesome gear.
depending on your gear, you can switch to casting from level 25 onwards, but its no problem to go melee till 40 even.
afterwards you should have a decent mana pool and switch to casting gear,
which makes you faster than most of the melee characters unless they spent much into gear

will try to hit 71 with my rogue caster today, if anyone is at level 55+ let me know
