icloud.com as mentioned in Google but it still downloads at about 3GB per hour,
a rate that would use up my month's allocation in about 8 hours! There seems to be a
dearth of information on Google on the subject although it is a recognized problem.

I had not seen that page but scanning through it the most likely
candidate is port 443 which I had seen elsewhere. However I see no
simple way of closing that port in DD-WRT. Closing it in iptables on
this computer wont stop iCloud to the Macs, etc. I tried blocking
several ip addresses I found Googling but that was not enough, perhaps
not a complete list?
