Yeah, pretty much you're going to have to bang them apart. I used a rubber mallet. I'd lay the assembly down on the ground, with the lugs holding it up, and pound on the rotor until it slips free.

If you have factory-style rotors, they have a threaded hole in the rotor that you can just put a bolt in. As you tighten the bolt down, the bolt presses against the hub and pops the rotor free. Mazda was way ahead of you on that one .
Many non-OEM rotors don't have the extra threaded hole, though.
When installing new rotors, it's a good idea to put some anti-sieze on the hub so that doesn't happen again.
