I replaced the rotor, went to organic pads, (previously ran HH pads) and flushed the brake fluid system and now can report the rear brakes perform much better, more stopping power before I have to brake hard enough to activate the ABS.
I honestly believe the HH pads were too sensitive (grabby?) and the organic pads are the way to go on the rear. I still run HH on the front and it works well.
Thank you for all of your suggestions and replies.

Just FWIW....

The majority of the time the brakes pulsate, not from ABS, it's due to a warped rotor....

Did you happen to check the rotor you replaced?
