Rupture and EA both work wonders against high armor targets, EA because it obviously lowers the target's armor, and Rupture because it ignores armor and scales with AP. Priests and Druids are great targets for EA, because Priests naturally have high armor with IF up and Druids will often jump right into bear form when put under pressure. I like Ruptures targets like Warriors and Paladins. Rupture will also keep the target out of stealth, so I use that more than anything else on opposing Rogues. Remember that Rupture lasts 15 seconds while EA lasts 30, so you should be able to keep EA up while rotating Rupture and KS in between applications of EA.

EA works great on low armor targets and sucks balls against high armor targets. It is often a good idea to EA a resto druid even while he's in bear form, but it's not because it counters bear form mitigation well (it barely nicks the armor of a druid in bear form). It's so that when you catch him in caster form, you'll be able to burst him for a lot more damage.
Also, priests don't have high armor. What are you talking about? IF might bring a priest up to 4-4.5k or so, which is about equal to a rogue. Not to mention you'll eat through his charges in a matter of a few seconds anyway.
