Might a one half point penalty for down voting change the incentives enough to prevent mass down voting? Perhaps combined with Viliam_Bur's minimum karma suggestion. Generally I favor ideas that don't make more work for the moderators.
(I am not imagining having half karma points, rather docking one karma for every two (or n) down votes.)
It'd make it somewhat more salient at the very least, but technical patches like these often come with unintended side effects. The moderation burden here is pretty light as it stands; as long as the tools exist to do the analysis I don't feel it's an undue burden on the mods to empower them to deal with things like this.
I'll also note that it's historically been a lot easier to get mod time than to get dev time.
