Are you seriously suggesting that rogues should aspire to be third rate wizards?
A rogue should be able to contribute to combat by being a rogue. That means high mobility and dirty blows. It seems like 4e will give that, but we'll wait and see before passing final judgment on that. But "I fire off a wand" is definitely something that's not very much in the spirit of things.
(Fine, sure, the failed renegade apprentice who can't do magic but still remembers the right way to make the arcane toys do their thing. Most regular rogues I'm talking about here.)
edit:
No, wait, I probably just misread it. God I hope I did...
