Is it only rough at an idle? If it is, I would be looking at the EGR valve for being opened up. If it is rough running down the road, has anyone check or cleared codes before posting, if they have cleared codes without telling you, to get a code now, it must go through a drive cycle to gather codes again, then I would suspect ignition coil failures.

Here's a shot...my buddie at work was having the same problems, took it to a mechanic and they found a vacuum line that was burnt through. Now that's as much as I know, he doesn't know where this hose is located, but it was replaced and his truck is running great now...maybe run this scenario to a couple of mechanics...good luck.
