Palladium, you are approaching this issue the right way. The data should speak. Since I have the Diamond, I don't have a dog in this particular fight. But I have kept similar statistics and posted them in the Diamond section. My Diamond numbers correspond closely with the ones that you posted - with one glaring exception. When I have data on, but not actively transmitting, I see NO additional battery draw. If you do see that consistently, something is wrong and of course it will kill your battery and probably contribute to your heat problem. My Diamond does not heat up at all.
Maybe something to explore. An inactive data connection should not draw down the battery.
