Why would you start with a pretentious and completely wrong statement like that? That seems counterproductive. Arcane Torrent isn't superior "in any shape or form", because there are many "shapes and forms" where WotF is better, like in literally every fight against a priest or a warlock or when you're playing a dispeller. Next time you want to use an idiom you've heard on the internet, stop for a moment and think about whether it's actually applicable to what you're trying to say, else people like me have to waste their time pointing out how stupid what you just said was.
The difference between Arcane Torrent and WotF is the magnitude in which they affect the fights they're relevant in and since as a rogue all of your fights will revolve around control they will usually last more than 45 seconds, giving you a 45 sec cd trinket against certain teams leads to very heavy impact on the game. If you've ever played against a rogue/priest mirror, you'll understand how big of an impact this racial can have. Meanwhile, you can use Arcane Torrent in every game for 10 energy and a silence so short it's considered an interrupt that makes yours and your teammate's silences worse. It's not going to be the difference between sitting in a fear and watching the priest heal but hey, you can use it whenever you want.
I wouldn't even call it a matter of preference as a racial that wins games against certain comps but is useless against others is objectively better than a racial that is mediocre all the time. And let's be honest, Arcane Torrent sometimes ends up being a downright terrible 10 energy on a 2 min cd, which you for some reason think can replace glyph of vigor, that let's you pool 10 extra energy indefinitely because apparently spamming ambush is the only reason that glyph is there in the first place.
