Rogue Solo?

[Rakurai]

I went with a Rogue for pure melee for my alt as I never even started one on live. After reading a lot of posts I am thinking I should have gone Monk because I want to have the ability to solo as well.. I guess what i am saying is, do rogues hold up even moderately well when they try to solo or will i get smashed later on... I am not expecting to be DRU/BArd caliber by any means but want to be able to while i wait on a list for a group. Thoughts and rants/Flames all welcome!
