Spokes

I was wondering if anyone has had a simular problem to mine. I purchased new this year a Specialized Robaix Expert. It has Roval Fussee EL 28 wheels on it. I have a little over 500 miles on it and the last 3 times I have ridden it I have had a broken spoke in the rear wheel. Each time I had a new spoke put in and the next spoke in line will break. All have been on the cassette side and like I said they have been in consecutive order. I must add that prior to the first spoke breaking I hit a pretty good pothole at about 30 mph and also I weigh about 230lbs. The local bike shop said I should replace the wheel. Ouch! they are'nt cheap.
Any insight would be much appreciated,

Tom
