After that HUGE AoE Nerf everyone's complaining about the number of Duo Farmer Teams sunk to like ZERO. Therefore UW should experience a rise in Ecto Drops, shouldn't it ?

Did the amount of ectos dropping throughout UW-Runs increase ?

No, the drops your party gets have nothing to do with other parties drops.
As for the amount increasing I cannot say.

55/famine?

yeah i've been thinking about a 55/famine build. As with SV/AV you drain energy an not HP they shouldn't flee right? Neither deals direct damage.

nice idea, that could work! Now if people do that , anet will nerf that too ^^

Famine + 55 does indeed work. As long as it is the monk that casts AV+SV on himself rather than the ranger getting close and screwing the aggro.

I've recently also noticed the bulk of ecto drops moving to the start with aatxes rather than smites.

Famine + SV + 55 was around LONG before this update. Just now people realized it is good.

Anyway, back on topic. No. How many ectos etc drop only depend on how much YOU farm the area, not how much a population in general does it (though one could argue it works slightly different for greens).
