If the wheel is actually bouncing up and down when braking it's something more than a warped rotor.

yes they can be brand new but still warped, sometimes its best to have a final pass done if you buy the 39.00 units

It's also possible that the shocks are bad, or going bad.

I was thinking that to but if it was the shock why would it only do it when the brakes are applied?

Constriction or gunk in the brake lines can cause it. Will lead to the calipers to pulsate. Did you bleed them when changing the rotors/pads???

I had a slipped belt in a tire that I could only feel during braking. Slight bump you could only see when you jacked the truck and spun the tire.
