Don't be afraid to EOC, depending on what EOC you're talking about, engine on coasting or engine off coasting. I engine on coast all the time in my automatic. Just shift it into neutral and when you want to get back into gear either rev the engine up to the rpms it should be or hit the brake (lightly) and shift into gear then let go of the brake. Even if you just coast with the engine on instead of off you'll save fuel instead of using the brakes a lot.
