How i see it rogues can use wants with use magic device as if they were a spell caster of the needed type arcane/devine. When making items you can use items to meet prereq's. So could a wizard/rogue that buys a couple wands/staves to meet prereqs make staves and wands of cure light/serious etc.. If it does, with some tweaking could this become a viable alternate option to having a cleric/healer etc. class. (maybe a way to dual wield wands and use both in the same round, I know activating is ussually a standard action) Some background, most in my group do not like to play spell casters especially healers. So either i end up playing one (starting to get a little tired of it) or the dm needs to add an npc. ( spending alot on potions is another option)

Clerics are darn useful in 3.0/3.5 - your friends are missing out, but if you're getting tired of picking up the slack, then for HP recovery, Wands of CLW are obviously the way to go.
