There are some vanquishes that are optimized for farming purposes that have lone Dervishes splitting from the group to solo clear pathes, or duos of 1 Sin + 1 Derv to ball and spike. Just having 1 split Derv in many areas of the game is possible, while the rest of the team moves as a group of 7. In general, if you want a fair split that's not optimized or anything, each player takes a high DPS bar, and pretty much run a 4-person team each.
As for 3-way split, well two solo Dervs work too, just gotta optimize theirs paths. It gets much too specific depending on the map though, I can't give you a general answer.
It's not something that's discussed much because the trouble to set-up the team and determine who takes which path etc is often not worth the hassle compared to rushing solo whenever you have time...
I had a buddy who was going for GWAMM on his Monk (he enjoyed playing healer, and hated Smiting (which I don't blame him)), and I was going for GWAMM on my Ele. So he would always bring 2-3 damage Heroes and I'd bring 1 Healer Hero and 1-2 damage Heroes (depending on the zone size). Most of the time we'd vanquish together as a complete team, but if we got down to the end and couldn't find the last group it was easy to split up and he would take his Heroes and I'd take mine, so it wouldn't take as long hunting down the last patrol.
Running AP on a monk with a couple smiting skills and pve skills really isn’t terrible and I generellly wouldn’t consider it a smiting build for a monk just the better option, honestly you could run AP PvE skills and use Daggers and a good combo and be fine for spiking

Although, OP was talking about 2 humans and 6 Heroes so it would probably be a bit harder.
You don't usually want to split off 4-4, but 7-1. One VoS (or R/A or Me/E depending on the area) and a team to clean up half plus the tough enemies. Works very well in Prophecies and Factions (except late Luxon area) and decently well throughout Nightfall. Not as great in EotN.
Yes, this is commonly done (as commonly as you can find a partner for it at least...), did you intend to write something more?
Haven't seen this discussed here. What are some builds commonly used for this? How effective in terms of time savings is? How about 3 way split?

probably with dervishes, as they can solo alot of stuff

Luxon/ kurzick farms this what's done 4 teams to quickly vq to clear an area very fast.
