edit: question answered below
The old Hawk pads like Blues were harsh on rotors. I don't think the DTC series is unless you use them for daily driving. I have very little wear on my rotors after 16 track days. Also, I think it's odd that you got vibrations and fading problems. I've never heard that before. Anyway, it's never happened to me.
