Joytech hubs do fail. I have had a grand total of two replaced by my LBS when they failed in the first few weeks of riding. Both happened to be on Giant mtb's that were near the bottom of the model line up. Both were front hubs. If I was in your situation I would just get a new wheel and get on with it. Warranties are written to protect the manufacturer NOT the consumer.
