Hard braking will force a loose ball joint into a locked position so the wobble goes away. Also the frequency of the wobble is not speed related.
Wobble frequency changes with speed and stronger when faster and pronounced when braking firmly it's always the rotors in my experience. (A previous car of mine was Z28 Camaro and I had plenty of experience with rotor shake with that car due to some heavy brake use: I've had the rotors hot enough you could feel the heat like a campfire when you walked past.

this was my exact issue. My car would Shake anything over 70 miles an hour and it would Shake anything under. That's where shops and opinions would go to the suspension system. I was not convinced that a rotor would make my car shake that bad without even touching the brakes. But that was the case in this.
