Two part question:
1)What do you mean by the sneak attack meaning less and less?
Well, I would think he means that every physical opponent worth its salt is going to be somehow immune to sneak attacks and critical hits, either by dint of templates or heavy fortification armor or full concealment.
That isn't completely true, but the number of half-plant ooze elementals in heavy fortification armor* seems to rise as levels climb. This, of course, is made a bit easier by the spells like Gravestrike in Complete Adventurer, but it's still annoying.
As is, my rogue was in epic levels when Miniatures Handbook came out and I beheld the glory of the Skullclan Hunter, but wept as I'd just levelled and couldn't put the needed points into K (Religion) for another couple of RL months.
* - That's our group's term for whatever my rogue attacked. "Nope, it's a half-plant ooze elemental in heavy fortification armor."
2)What is sneak attack of opportunity?
It's an epic feat for rogues, where, if you have it, each and every attack of opportunity is treated like a sneak attack. It is quite nice.
Rogues do get decent epic feats.
