I'd NEVER run a rotor under the limit. Ever.
I checked with my SA, and I spook with some of the mechanics.

I was told, if the rotors are very close or past the wear limit they recommend change. If the rotors are in an area where it will last with the expected life of the new brakes they just replace the pads only.
