You can be successful with any build in PvE, you just need to know how the build works. Let's compare a priest and a rogue (yes, different aspects to the game).
A priest works on healing, a rogue works on dps, okay. Basics of the basics. Take a shadow priest, still works on healing, but does it by doing dps. Whoa! Mind blower, I thought shadow priests only focused on dps, yeah, but they are there more for the extra healing. Not quite as effective but helps a solo healer like a holy paladin out like a champ.
Combat rogues, excel in melee dps, usually topping meters (if they know their combo pt rotations). Subtlety rogues, not quite as effective in dps, but they still provides it, while helping out party/raid physical dps. Whoa! Another mind blower, holy crap! Any fury warr/hunter/enhance shammy/combat rogue would love a sub/hemo rogue in the raid. You only need 1 hemo rogue in the raid, having more would be overkill.

For instance I out DPS other rogues on our raids. I don't even bother respeccing from my PVP spec (which is 16/0/45 HShS) anymore because I am way and far above in DPS. ( I don't even use my best combo point cycles because I am already up and above) But if I was being pushed by some of hte other rogues in my guild I would probably be more apt to respec to combat swords and try even harder. ;)
I would be curious to see your build and gear. Not because I doubt you, I've just never seen a subt rogue even come close to combat spec'd rogues nonetheless blow them away. Armory by chance?

There is a very detailed
thread
out on the web with charts, graphs, WWS reports and analysis that lists the raiding viability of a heavy subtlety specced rogue. There are thorough explanations for both the pro and con of this spec, which I'd suggest one read carefully to help their judgement.
