Is water resistant enough?

I've started commuting on September 2005. For the past year I've only done it when it wasn't raining. But the winter is starting and the thought of not riding to work is anoying me so I'm starting to think about commuitng even raining.
I've been looking for clothes and I would like to know if Gore windstopper is enough to keep me dry for half an hour without getting me soaked in sweat?
This jacket looks really nice - Freestyle 399 Hurrican Jacket. Been looking at it Wiggle.
But what concerns me the most are trousers. Because I usually change my top clothes but I use my trousers during the commute. I was thiking on buying some water resistant overtpants. But they have to resist water for half an hour and let sweat out is Pertex, which packs down really small, good for this? Or would I be better with windstopper? Been looking at these - Freestyle 405 Ultra WindTex Trousers or these - Montane Featherlite Pant 06.
Any opinions on these?

By the way I really hate changing shirt are there shirts made of fast wicking material that would allow me to ride fully dressed for work.
