I personally like staff or dagger rogues, they can use mid armors which can be a disadvantage, but can hit and maintain mid to high damage.
You want to keep a balance with your str/dex. I would put your first 10 points into vita though.
Dex gear is cheaper than str gear, so try and find some dex or str scale/ leather armors, and a charm.
