ouch, i hope the rotor wasn't scored by the pad backing plate. i have never dealt with carbon brakes, but from what i understand they are delicate and something like that would need replacement.

and yes, the inside pads tend to get a little hotter. at a particular track over here, there is a hard, downhill braking zone into a left turnpin. if i go with a fresh set of pads, the inside passenger side pad is by far the most worn, as it gets punished, and then turned away from the airflow and stays hotter longer.
i recently replaced my spent rotor rings. there were about three cracks on the outside of the ring, but about seven on the inside passenger side. i'd say its a valid theory.
if you were to run a square setup, you would be managing each tire placement by corner and wear based on the track you're running. pads can also be managed in this way. they may not wear with a taper, but they might wear at an individual rate. keep an eye on them.
