the wobble will be only in the rotors.  Amount of material on pads has nothing 
to do with wobble.  Several years ago I stopped trying to have them turned when 
I was doing a brake job and just always bought new.  Heat and cooling can warp 
rotors.  Have you driven through cold water after using brake hard and having 
them heated up?  

Could be bent wheel.  Have you banged the curb really hard lately?  Or bad 
tire, with belt slightly out of line, but if you rotated tires and no change, 
it's probably not a tire.  If you have a bent wheel, that should have changed 
the wobble, when you rotated tires, so it's probably not that.

brakes were done (front and rear) less than one year ago
(less than 15K on them) and rotors not turned... pads show plenty of
material...
