First, I agree...get a sample to a plant pathology lab.
My first guess is bacterial leaf scorch as well. Having said that, I would say that Raintree is probably no too far off...even if the diagnostic lab comes back with baterial leaf scorch, I'd say he was largely correct as all those things he listed are either pre-disposing or contributing factors (or perhaps a couple could even be inciting factors) for decline. If it is BLS, at least the prescription for treatment would match.
The individual leaves do look a little like oak wilt, but the overall pattern in the tree does not. Likelihood of being oak wilt could be addressed with the question of time: how quickly did these symptoms develop?
