Rogue: Rogues are rather straight foreword as long as you follow a few simple steps. Fortunately your high armor rating will reduce their melee damage a good deal so they will not always be able to take you down in one shot like other classes. Also, since they rely on fast weapons Retribution Aura is a god send FFXIV Gil and will take them down even faster.
Unfortunately their poisons go right past your armor and can do significant damage or seriously debuff you. If they have a stacking effects try to purify them away when possible. A PVP rogue depends entirely on stealth, mobility and high damage abilities with long cool downs.
The secret to winning is to outlast his abilities so you can take him down in the cool down. His first tactic will be to try and attack you from behind while stealthed. Your best weapon against this is Consecrate. Its primary function in this situation is destealthing the rogue so use ranks one to save mana.
Unfortunately rogues that go deep in the Subtly tree have Shadow-step which puts them right behind you from twenty yards away and Consecrate won’t have time to destealth them. If he manages to get through to you he will Ambush you, stun you and then hit you with his powerful abilities. This is known as Stun-lock and the only way to beat it is to try and survive it.
A Holy priest is mostly about healing and their only way of dealing good DPS is with Smite. Treat them like a Discipline priest and burn them down.
