Two-thirds of the way down the page is a rotation for the Ranger/ Marksman/Saboteur in a build the author calls the Nightblade.  Hopefully this collection of builds will be updated to include more casting sequences for other flavors of rogues.

Rift: Cleric Casting Sequences/Rotations

Whether you call the spells you string together casting sequences or call them rotations, players are always looking for recommendations for good macros.  Here are the ones I've found recently, but I can't say how well they work for your flavor of cleric.

http://forums.riftgame.com/archive/index.php/t-97353.html?s=25b09da632721b48ed9e906567ba7c8b

This "collection of cleric builds" has a rotation for the following builds:  Shaman/Druid/Sentinel, for the Cabalist/ Inquisitor/ Sentinel, for the Shaman/Justical/Sentinel tanking build, for a Justicar/Shaman leveling build, and for a Druid/Shaman/Sentinel solo melee leveling build.
http://www.progamercity.net/rift-guides/1270-guide-rift-cleric-builds-collection.html

The Rift Cleric Builds website has a summary page of builds on the home page, some of which have rotations listed.  Those include the Shaman/Druid/Sentinel pet leveling build (to level 35), Cabalist/ Inquisitor/Sentinel DPS leveling build, a Shaman/Justicar/Sentinel tank leveling build, a Justicar/Shaman solo leveling melee build, and a Druid/Shaman/Sentinel solo melee leveling build.  I expect this information to change but the above are what are listed today.
http://riftclericbuilds.com/

This site has a nice explanation of the Cabalist/Inquisitor/Warden build for AoE Damage casting and leveling, including the rotation.

Rift: Tanking Guides

This is a general guide to how tanking works in Rift.  It talks about marking targets, single and multiple target rotations, consumables, race and character customization that helps tanking, etc.  There is even a paragraph on the difference between tanking rifts and tanking instances.  This is a good introduction to playing as a tank.

Tanking as a Death Knight/Druid/Paladin/Shaman/Warrior

Big Bear Butt mentioned two sources of information on tanking as various classes on his blog today.  Here are the direct links--first to Brokentree's comparison of now death knights, druids, paladins and warriors tank.  He's played them all and this looks like an excellent resource as it has casting rotations.
http://waywardinitiative.wordpress.com/2010/03/20/i-like-to-stand-in-front-of-things-that-mean-me-harm/

Secondly, to a video of a shaman tanking Lord Marrowgar in Icecrown Citadel.

Moonkin Spell Rotations (Patch 3.3)

Graylo goes over the spell priorities for moonkin druids at the link below.  I see he says spell rotations are an outdated name for what are actually spell rotations, which reminded me that The Solo MMO Player says the concepts of main and off tanks are outmoded.  Perhaps we should be developing new ways of thinking about raids and how we play?  The game has changed since Vanilla WOW, and we should change with it.

I've started researching spell rotations for restoration druids.  Keeva has the most up-to-date (September 2009) posting about spell rotations and what resto druids need to keep in mind.

I also found this brief spell rotation information from June 2009.

I've also found detailed discussions from October 2008,
