As many people tend to favour overtaking over a lights-to-flag win and some automatically discard such drivers (just how often did Vettel get DOTR last season? Not anything like as many times as he won races as I recall), it's not surprising Rosberg has garnered so few votes.
You're right, Rosberg would have featured in many Top 3s, but I normally think that the overall DOTR result does reflect similar sentiments of the forum as a whole. I didn't expect him to be at the top, but I did think he'd get a few votes. Mark Webber would have had more votes if he'd been on the list.
