In general, normal wear can cause the rotors to become groved. The pads wear "into" the rotor during regular use. At some point, the rotors may need to be turned or replaced, and the pads may need to be replaced. Both the turning/replacing of the rotors and the replacment of the brake pads is done at the same time. Few if any professionals will attempt to "short cut" a brake job by just doing one thing.

Hot spots are caused by over heating the rotors Causes: "riding" the brakes, faulty brake components, general abuse
What causes uneven wear on brake pads?
Bad rotors
What causes a warped brake rotor?
Excessive or heavy and continuous braking may warp brake rotors. Braking hard (heating the rotors a lot) and then going through water (which quickly cools the hot rotors) may also cause the rotors to warp. If the brake pads or brake rotors are getting thin, the rotors will warp more easily.
What causes 2000 silverado to shake when braking?

What causes a scalloped tire?
bad brake rotors or alignment shocks struts
Brake pulsation New hubs and Rotors?
I don't know if you are saying you have the new hubs and rotors and still have pulsation, or if you are asking what causes pulsation. If you have pulsation on slowing this is due to warped rotors, and you need to change the rotors and the brake pads, not the hubs. Not too expensive: 2 rotors and brake pads for my Pontiac is about 55 bucks. DIY of course.
What causes a car to shimmy when you step on the brake?
Front rotors could be warped. Replace
What causes the brake peddle to pulsate?
Do you have anti lock brakes that might be it if not your rotors maybe warped
What causes 1992 brakes to squeak?
