So what is you guys opinion on a G/B Rock deck post rotation? I've been entertaining the idea of building this type of deck for post rotation standard, but do you think it's a viable option?

This. Don't worry about it.
It'll probably be a fine choice because you'll have all the Abzan cards sans white, but there could also be a lack of synergy there.

It's obviously hard to say since the new set hasn't really been spoiled, beyond a few cards. But if you want to play rock, you'd probably be better off adding white and going Junk (or Abzan apparently)) as there will probably be some nice symmetry there, and decent mana fixing available.

Abzan already has a great base with Elspeth, Sun's Champion , Courser of Kruphix , Sylvan Caryatid , and Thoughtseize . The best idea is to get parts and wait until Khans spoilers for access to more cards.

Seems ok as of right now. Garruk, Apex Predator could be a good late game finisher, use all the removal in the sets (Pharika's Cure , Ulcerate , Hero's Downfall , etc) to deal with opposing creatures, and other small tempo creatures. The one problem i see with it is there arent too many very good tempo creatures. Scavenging Ooze and Deathrite Shaman are leaving us come rotation.

can't really say since we only know 6 cards from the new set.
