Hmm. I've been driving MBs for twenty years and have made a few hard stops without ever having had a rotor actually warp. A few minor hard spots, etc, but never a really measurably bent one. This includes a major test of the anti-lock brakes on the old 300D when I very narrowly avoided a pile-up in Cincinnatti one Saturday morning. Did you know you still leave black stripes when the anitlock brakes are working? They were even smoking, I think....
Not saying it doesn't happen, just never had the experience. And not being able to move after a very hard stop would be the most likely thing to produce the differential heat required, too -- the part covered by the pads is gonna stay way hotter than anything not covered!
