Spoke Wind up?
My 29er Wheels have super comps rotor side and lazers on the right. It was a bloody hard build. Nice Wheels when I finally got there though.

Blimey, unlucky!
Check the spoke holes maybe there's a crack there? A crack ain't good.
Hard to know the cause unless a wheel builder looks at it.

What @JWestland says could be a probable cause. Look closely at the eyelets in the area where the severe warp and hop is located, check for cracks in the rims there. If none are there also look at the rim area directly opposite the warp and hop. In fact, just check every single eyelet.

The reason why your laser spokes snapped is not the spoke it is a poor build. used 1000's of lasers and they don't snap.
Your wheel is out of true probably because of insufficent stress relieving and or some wind up being present.

I had my the rear of my superstar Pave 28 rebuild with DT comps on the driveside after a snappage of the lasers... 60 miles later the wheel went way out again with an audible crack. no spokes snapped and no obvious hub damage but now the wheel has an abrupt warp and a little hop. Poor tensioning to blame?
