Hej there
In those huge heavy distance and group melee battles that are epic bg, what is the role of rogues?
And is it fun to play?
Thanks for your replies! 
Probably to snipe people in intermissions between objectives
lock down healers, kill single players, take objectives.
It is rewarding, sure you wont be top of the dps meters running into the middle of huge bg brawls but in terms of skill and control no other melee comes close imo.
I just have fun in there.
If it’s say Ashran just sneak round the back and try to blow a healer up before I get caught. Taking out 1 healer can have a larger impact than doing a load of damage to melee that are getting healed
I wouldn’t know, not into the whole 40 vs 40 aspect. But I guess its base capping, defense? Being a general nuisance? You can recover some bases if they leave too few on defense.
Securing solo kills as rogue on healers is really hard if the healer has more than two functioning braincells.
Not really the job to kill the healer just stop them from healing others with cc or indeed just damage. If they are healing themselves they arent healing the two arms warriors that are tearing through your team for example.
I will say in ashran if you have enough stealthers your main job should be stealth to their mage in the tower and kill it. You can indeed kill it with just two people but it takes too long and you run the risk of being spotted and they will heal it/defend it.
+1 for Ashran. I tend to either flank around near the front, Bombing their front line and picking off anyone thats low and running away, or get between their respawn point and the front and kill the respawners while theyre on their way.
Our role in most epic BGs is to be burden on our team comparative to other more useful classes in large team battles 
Usually in any epic BG most of the team goes on a big zerg and rogues are better suited going in a smaller group to other targets and winning fights there. Like for example for IoC teams will always fight over docks, rogues are really good at ninjaing Hangar.
Depends on the epic bg, for instance on Wintergrasp you can fire the RPGs from stealth (only breaks when the missile hits) so you can take out vehicles safely from the top of your walls.
Otherwise usually defending and capping/re-capping important objectives (like the bunkers/towers in AV) , or to snipe out high priority targets (healers, flag carriers or normal bgs), capitializing on the sheer amount of cc (and damage) the class has access to.
