Crimson Edge is a Daily attack. I expect higher Daily powers to be a lot more impressive, but we're talking about the premiere heroic tier power for rogues, so it's not trivial.
EDIT: And this is just one of four PCs dealing the smackdown.
One of two. The Pit Fiend is a challenge for two characters, being an elite monster. Two Pit Fiends will fight a party of four, along with the 10+ summoned level 21+ devils they bring to the table. Given their teleport ability and all their minions, I'd say ganging up on a single one is going to be challenging- but then again, we are talking about 26th level characters- who knows?
Any which way, the rogue is a striker, and his damage output isn't eclipsing the pit fiends ability to survive by any stretch.
