Hi, I'm 183cm and 79kg and really can't decide between 184 or 192. My actual skis are 186 non rocker, but I'm not that an aggressive skier. 192 seem to be the rightful choice compared to my height but afraid it would be to big/difficult and 184 to short.

Someone who wants to ski the 192 is going to be going big 110% of the time. They will be the hardest of chargers. Go with the 184 if you don't ski aggressively. Also I would maybe look for a ski thats not so stiff. Skis like the Bentchetler and Armada JJ. A softer flex will be a less aggressive ski and you will be able to go with a bigger ski without being afraid.

The Rocker2 is 122 under foot so even in the 184 you are getting a lot of ski, a lot of floatation. You are right that you could go with either size, but if your not skiing that aggressively I think you'll be better off with the 184.
