I think you are misunderstanding the concept behind "EOC-ing"
The point of engine braking is that, while in gear, (in most modern cars) the fuel injectors automatically shut off, however, you lose too much speed. Therefore, whatever "gains" you made with engine braking are lost because you have to speed up again. I use engine braking when i KNOW i have to slow down to an eventual stop (ie a stop sign).
Engine Off Coasting is coasting in NEUTRAL while the engine is off. This way, you get the benefit of 1) fuel injectors are turned off and 2) you're coasts are longer because you are in neutral.
I am afraid your "EOC-ing in gear" might have damaged your transmission.
