Seems like a very steep increase indeed. I was only planning to upgrade my DXB-BOS leg (originally 57,500 miles to upgrade) and now it's 95,000 miles. Which is actually a 65% increase.
Tickets bought before these changes should be redeemable at the old rates (or so I was told by ek). Probably best to call eK and ask - remember in the faq on the new fares this was clearly stated ie tickets bought before 31 Jan will be under the "old" rules.
