somethings wrong with that cam, I wouldn't touch it - I've seen a 100,000 mile cam that looked near mint, you shouldn't be seeing wear and pitting like that

If you have it reground you will change the cam specs on that lobe. You could have all of them done but unless it was free, you would probably be better off with another cam. If it is just a lobe or two messed up, I would say it was probably a problem with the lifter, probably the bearings going bad in the roller, since I am assuming this is a roller cam.
