A Rogue specific Broken Shore quest, awards Antique Ravenholdt Dagger. I also received 50 Legionfall War Supplies, but I believe that was due to War Effort being active.
The Demon Hunter quest is Full Fel, which awards Reclaimed Ashtongue Feltome.

Command center was active but it was Worthy Champions buff, so it may be just from the Command Center being active.
Illidan Stormrage says:
Shadowblade, the demons are bringing in more hapless refugees from Suramar. You and your gallery of rogues must liberate them before they become fuel for the fel.
There are a small number of cages in the quest area. Prisoners respawn quickly. Pick locks to free withered [npc=104694]s. Disappointed that some cages could be opened by clicking on a gold cogwheel.[item=147473] is just artifact power.
