I've seen some talk about Dovecot repeating password prompts on the list
and while this happens to us from time to time, the procedure for
restarting some things along with dbrecover always seems to work.
Tonight I had two servers do it at the same time, so I'm assuming a
flood/attack of some sort?

Is there any recommended way or dovecot settings to avoid this from
happening?
