It really comes down to a trade off. My standard gank fit brutix puts out 697 DPS with 5 hammerhead II's. Without them it drops to 569. I consider giving up 128 DPS to have a chance to have a change (10 percent x5) not to be worth it. 128 DPS is a LOT of damage. If I KNEW the ECM's where going to jam that would be one thing. But since I don't I figure I have a better chance of killing whatever I'm fighting with that extra 128 DPS.
uhmm.... my gank brutix goes just above 1k dps (including dmg drones), so your 'gank' fit aint that ganky really....
on topic though: I have a few recent encounters with ecm drones where i was actually perma jammed the entire fight... (thorax vs thorax, and thorax vs rupture), i started using them myself...and behold... they jam like mad...
Could you post your fit please, I am interested to see it. Seeing as how gank fit mega only get around 1100 I would very interested in bumping my brutix up to 1k.

I SERIOUSLY don't understand why people think ECM drones are even close to being overpowered. I have tested them to no end and found them to be horribly inconsistent. Sure, against a cruiser they are pretty decent. But when you get into BC and above I have NEVER gotten more than 2 jams in a 2 min time period. Not to mention the DPS you give up from not having 5 hammerhead II's (If your can fit 5 mediums).
Maybe you're unlucky.. or maybe it's me who's unlucky.
I'm flying ECCM'd BC, sensor strength is 35; guess what? I consistently get fights where I get jammed 2-3 times in a row by a flight of light ECMs 
My only actual gripe with ECM drones is that they allow one ship to have gank, tank and EW, which is not how it should really be imo.
word, I dual eccmed an apoc and got jammed 3 times in a fight. although I think that was with med ecm drones.
and I remember seeing stavros get very scared at seeing 10 thoraxes and then getting very excited when THEY DIDNT LAUNCH ECM DRONES!!!! during the alliance tournament.
