That has to be taken into account for sure, but I disagree that using non-shared parameters is the way to go. If you have to rely on multiple targets taking longer to attack it means the choices are already broken since attacking one target is possible (or close to so).
This is also the case in many symmetric algorithms. Multi-target attacks are cheaper than attacking each individually, and breaking someone's key is faster than breaking a particular key.
The solution is to choose parameters such that without advances in theory any amount of computational power will be insufficient to break any key. The same should be possible with ECC.
