Rock type attacks are incredibly useful for it's large coverage against common types.
Rock type Pokemon are large liabilities, for their mediocre Special Defense and low Speed.

Additionally,Rock is often dual typed, ending up getting paired with a type that will cause a normally 2x weakness to double (Aggron and Tyranitar both being 4x weak to Fighting, and don't even get me started on the stupid "Rock/Ground" pairing), or not do it any favors (Shuckle's Bug typing cutting it's resistance to Fire, five of the fossils being weak to Electric), and, when not dual typed, Rock has the most weaknesses.

Basically, Rock moves are awesome, Rock Pokemon aren't, and that makes me sad.

Sounds like Ice Pokemon to me. Good moves, not so awesome type.
