Don't do a factory reset or take it back to VZW. Charge the phone up, turn it on, keep an eye on it. If you see the battery getting drained again, look at the running services and it will quickly tell you what is the bad app.
He went from full charge to dead in under an hour. I dont know if the phone physically should be able to do that no matter what or how hard something is running. Also the heat could have damaged your phone, the longevity of electronics is directly related to the temps they see, you dont want the thing taking a crap in 13 months. Take it back and get a new one. Install battery monitor widget on your knew one and it will keep and constant log of your te.ps. The highest I have seen is 118°F, that was streaming a movie over 4g and charging 70° ambient.
