Your entire question is subjective to what one considers "brutally unfair" or even the nature of ganking. Expect equally subjective answers.

Then there's the ones who just mash buttons while trying to gank and don't understand why they end up getting killed more than half the time (unless they're ganking someone half their level).
Yeah it's entirely possible to gank plate wearers if you know what you're doing. Unfortunetly all the ones I find are PvP spec'd and geared. Another downside to high level ganking curently is that it's impossible to tell pvp gear from pve gear. So ganker beware, what you think is a dungeon crawler may be an arena champion.

Brutaly unfair is
-Waiting until they are near dead
-Pulled multiple mobs
-Drastically lower level
-Get somebody to help you gank

Of course I've seen many a terribad ganker fail even with the upper hand because all they could do was mash their keyboard until things died.

I have made some pretty dumb decisions when ganking people before. I've also had times where, when attacking a target on equal grounds, I have lost due to bad Kidney Shots, inability to land a finishing move, or just plain latency issues.

The bottom line is that when as a rogue you lose a fight which was in your pocket, it's humiliating. The other person knows it, and is most likely chuckling at you, but you can't let it stop you from trying to learn or approaching another target.

Sure, the point is to win, but if one doesn't ever target a challenging opponent one will never learn to beat all opponents. Many rogues only attack when they know they're going to win, and while I agree with this strategy in real life or most other things, as a rogue who thrives on world PVP as in the olden days, I have had my fair (and unfair) share of humiliations, glories, and unknowns.

If I die, and know why I lost (couldn't land that Kidney Shot, for example) or if I get away without having killed my target, who is to say I didn't really win where it counts? It's all subjective.
