3M 77 spray adhesive works great on rock wool. I've used it to attach burlap to Roxul 2" rigid rock wool boards for DIY acoustic panels. Spray the glue on both the rock wool and burlap, wait a couple of minutes for the glue to get tacky, then join the two. The rock wool boards aren't particularly messy; certainly less so than typical fiberglass insulation sold in rolls.

The easiest way to DIY 2' x 4' acoustical panels might be to use the "bags" from www.readyacoustics.com. These appear to be zippered cloth bags sized to fit over a standard 2' x 4' x 2" fiberglass or rock wool panel. Slide the bag over the insulation, zip it up, and you're done. I haven't used them but the bags look like a clever solution.
