I've been asking myself lately, what if Dirk wore himself out during the 2011 title run? He played at such a high level for a 2 month stretch that his basketball body might not recover from that grueling 2 month stretch.

Don't believe that. Dirk played fantastic last year at the end of the year. And in the playoffs he averaged:
27 PPG
6 RPG
2 APG
44% FG
91% FT
And those stats came off of being defended as the only guy who could score against OKC. The only thing Dirk can't do anymore is rebound at a high level. That is because of the lack of hops. He has lost a lot of his hops the last several years.
But Dirk is right there.
