If your rotors have developed a 'lip' on the outer edge from the pad wearing away the rotor significantly then new pads will never properly bed against the rotor and you will have sub-optimal braking and reduce the life of your new pads as well. IMHO, it is not necessary to change rotors with every pad change and there are 2 criteria I take in account for a rotor change:
1. The thickness of the rotor relative to minimum thickness.
2. The presence of a significant outer edge lip.
