@Cynic: Back in the day you couldn't get fadeleaf/blinding powder from pick pocketing. It was either be an herbalist or buy it on the AH. So yes, it was kind of expensive/hard to get.

Pre-BC, blind was IMO the most powerful rogue cooldown. Yes, more powerful than sprint, more powerful than coldblood, etc (ok maybe not preparation, but I digress). Properly used (to get extra openers, to bandage, to wait out a frost nova when vanish is down and you're not a gnome, etc), blind can be truly devastating.

I do agree with the OP that a proper stunlock doesn't include blind, blind is more of a "reset" button that allows you to re-initiate a new stunlock. However I think the OP could be more helpful than saying "don't be a noob"
