Sometimes, but probably more often than warping, brake pulsations or shuttering 
are caused from imprinting.  Like when, as Peter mentions, the park brake is 
applied and left on after the brakes are very hot.  Friction material is 
transferred to the drum and or the rotors and causes a pulsating pedal feeling 
and shake. This is most likely the reason I have been having brake issues with 
my Tacoma.  I live at the bottom of a hilly road, and for about two miles I'm 
on the brakes, so my truck is sometimes parked when the brakes are still hot.  
I do my best to try and let the brakes cool before I park it, by going a little 
further down the road and returning back up the hill when the brakes are not 
used as hard.  Or, I sometimes take a slightly longer route to avoid this 
problem all together. 

Of course warping can be checked with a dial indicator and seen when they are 
turned.  Imprinting is less evident, but feels very similar.
