You changed the brakes when all you had to do was change the pads. Cane Creek brakes are made by Tektro which is famous for poor quality pads. A change to either Shimano or, better, Kools Stop pads would have made all the difference at much less cost.
Per rat fink's quote; " To be fair, I've gotten similar results virtually any dual pivot caliper, (and some single pivots), when rebuilding them to my exacting specification using superior lubrication." That's the essence of it right there.
