How does a rogue kill a disc priest with 400+ resil?

So when would you use EA then as ShS rogue? Will that be the first 5pt combo you use, ahead of KS?

It's bad isn't it? I really must get out more...

Personally, yes, straight away. Stealth -> premed -> CS (+hemo if you aren't already up to 5 CP) -> expose armor. Keep SnD up and reapply a 5 point EA if needed. The rest of the time use KS and spam hemo. Good luck!

CS instead of garrote for the 2CPs I assume?

I think so. CS will usually give you an additional combo point over garotte, and whilst they are silenced for 3s with garotte, they are effectively silenced for 4 with CS (unless they blow their trinket, but that's a good thing at this stage of the fight!).

I guess Garrotte's more for mages who can blink out of stuns eh.

Indeed. It's also fairly handy against high armor targets with lots of stun resistance (say warriors and feral druids) for stacking up bleeds.

Another question on EA - is it only worth using against clothies? Or should I incorporate it into my BG cycle?

Right now in BGs I tend to always open with CS unless it's a mage, then I do hemo 3x then KS, then hemo again to build CPs then a 3 or 4cp rupture. I don't use Evi at 70 at all as my crits are only slightly greater than my hemo ones, so I don't really have a burst option with my ShS spec (which I don't think it's supposed to anyway). Should I start to use EA against plate wearers as well?
