Don't worry about getting your rooks out too early. They work a lot better when the board is clearer. In Game 5608305 for example your opponent uses his very well. He castles so that one of them is centralised and then he pops the other on the open e and f files and with only two or three moves he's got a great big line of control right into your territory.
Castle and control open files. Works for me.
