Fair point, we are working on a dynamic method of weighing although the fix worked thus far (8x hasing power increase within minutes on SHA algo did no damage at all to the chain and a few weeks earlier a scrypt pool with 51%+ forked resulting in just that their miners lost some mining time again with no consequences to the chain) we are aware that fixed factors are somewhat unreliable in long term.

Were these attackers actually being dishonest (not mining on top of the chain with greatest difficulty) ? Or were they just flooding the hashing power?
