Wow. I can't believe you got 66K miles out of the stock rotors. You must Barney Rubble your **** most of the time to stop.

the rotor won't warp with your type of driving ,
in fact they almost never warp...
from the StopTech website, they helped me figure out my similar problem...
pad deposits on the rotor..these grab (jutter) and give the feeling of warp..
as you have experienced, turning it only cleaned the surface and the deposits returned.
try a more aggressive pad, or at least new pads
they aren't designed to last that long anyway
also, keep you foot off of the brake when you come to a stop
use your e brake if you begin rolling
if they are really hot, like a hwy stop the rotors will be very hot,
so roll the car while at the light to let the rotor cool (heat escape from under the pad area) and it safeguards you from 'cooking' your pads onto the rotor
