Now after looking at these charts it seems that the battery is complete junk! I think I got about 10 runs out of this pack. All of my turnigy packs are having the same symptoms, losing power and cogging, and hitting LVC after a short time. Is this what has been causing my heat issues all along?

IMO, the charts don't look horrible in terms of the packs performance, but...........
When is it cogging? on startup? It cogs more in the 16 tooth, than the 14 tooth, doesn't it?
What top speed are you geared for?
Cogging itself creates HUGE amounts of heat VERY quickly. Cogging also will suck the juice out of the pack very quickly.
What are your ESC settings?
I would look at addressing the cogging issue itself, then log some more runs. You have to get the cogging stopped.
The cogging isn't necessarily the Lipo.
Cogging is usually the result of improper gearing or improper ESC settings.
