Today's update 
The heat had warped the steel backing plates on the brake pads thus holding pressure on the rotor after the piston retracted.
This of course kept heating up the rotor as I rode.
Still have no clue as to what the root cause of the initial over heating episode was, but once the steel plates were warped the damage continued.
Rotor run out was right at the .008" spec.
Managed to tweak it back to .004"
Time will tell (after several heat cycles) if the tweak will hold.
Waiting on new pads to arrive.
Stay tuned...
