Jetbrains makes excellent refactoring tools for multiple languages so I usually use their tools as my gauge of how well a language lends itself to refactoring.
As a daily user of Resharper in both C# and C++, I really notice how much poorer they work in C++. Renaming operations, as you mentioned, do work in C++ sometimes, but not others. Generally if it is a variable or parameter that's used locally I can rename it instantly with no problem. If it's a variable exposed in the class header, then it will tend to sit there churning for enough time before I decide that I should probably cancel the operation.
Likewise, simply using a "Find References" or "Find Usages" in C++ usually works, but at times it gives odd suggestions of things that are clearly not usages of the thing I'm searching, but something else with the same name that it just is not smart enough to understand is not a real usage. (possibly due to the difficulty of parsing templates or macros)
"Extract Method" is one of my favorite C# refactorings. Resharper C++ also has this operation but it is a bit of a gong show, and generates results that usually have to be tidied up considerably afterwards.
