I think it is pretty safe to say that it is not a bent rim or bad tire since they were rotated and I have the same problem coming from the same area. If it were a bad rotor I would think it would vibrate under braking, which it does not. I don't really want to take it to a mechanic and have them troubleshoot what it is by replacing countless parts and running up the cost until they find what was causing it...
I'm just trying to think of anything involved in locating the wheel that might allow any kind of movement or cause wheel hop like symptoms since it's obviously not the wheel itself... unless they mixed them up and put the same one back on. It's it a smooth droning vibration or a bumpy shaky kind of vibration? I assume the latter since that is usually what is associated with a wheel being out of balance or a bad tire.
Maybe try a tire and alignment specialty shop where they can spin that one wheel up to 80 mph with a mobile wheel balancer while it's on the car and get under the car and probe around for anything.
I hate problems that only occur at high speeds, they are hard to replicate and track down in a garage.
