LOL I'm the opposite. I can play dual wield or archery rogues just fine (I kinda prefer archery because it lets me see the fight from a distance, and usually I set the NPCs tactics to target my target. So I can hang back, survey the scene, choose a mob and everyone will jump on it.

I've never been able to make the defensive stance work for me. It invariably results in the NPCs just standing there while I get beat on. So I always have my meleers set to aggressive and my archers and mages set to ranged. But of course, that means my meleers keep charging in and setting off traps before I can get to them.

I am now going to make myself forget that there's a killallhostiles command.
