Drastic improvement
Going through the forums yesterday I noticed one thing, people prompted to do a clean install of iOS 7 not the OTA. After downloading from my OTA update I realized that my battery life essentially had worsened. After being discouraged today I did a fresh install and I immediately notice the difference, I just put my phone in after usage starting at 11am (eastern time). Battery Life is amazing now!

I did my update OTA and my battery life has drastically improved. No more super hot phone, and longevity seems to be on par with iOS 6.
So I wouldn't consider OTA to be the culprit. I just imagine your "fresh" install fixed whatever it was that was wrong.
I'm in the same boat. I did multiple clean installs of ios 7 beta 1 and got horrible battery life. OTA update to beta 2 fixed my battery woes.
My battery issues have seemed to disappear with beat 2 thankfully. Only issue I still have (not sure if others do) is that the % meter can be off by quite a bit. Example: yesterday I was at 11% received the 10% remaining notification and less than a minute later the phone powered off.
I have fully charged my phone and let it completely shut off. When I plug it back in and it turns on, it starts off at 11% or higher. Can't get it to start off around 5% which is what I normally see. Any suggestions or something that I may have missed?

my ipad mini's battery life is doing pretty good so far, i was at 99% after 45 mins of use and 16 hrs of standby. this made me install beta 2 on my phone again to see how its running. last time i had beta 1, the battery drain was really bad.
For the life of me I cant stablize the battery.
on iOS6 I would leave the office around 5pm with between 40-50% battery left.
on iOS7 beta 2 Im leaving at 20-30%.
Ive restored as new also.

thats not bad at all. there was a time on ios6 where i was seeing 9-11 hours of use, and a day and a half of standby. but 7 hrs of use i can live with. on beta 1 i was seeing horrible battery life, like 3 hrs of use and 9 hrs standby with 48% left.
