It would actually be worth using without its second ability, because this will just get killed if you take 8 damage, and with all the direct damage going around, its going to be easy at 8 mana. It should at least give exalted or something like "Permanents with exalted you control have exalted (This ability stacks)" because that's a game ending ability, like the others of its cycle except Sphinx Sovereign (Which will probably kill somebody at that point in the game anyways.)

Chances are you're already running {W} and {U} if you're using Empyrial Archangel. So why not use something like Sovereigns of Lost Alara or Glamer Spinners to put Indestructibility onto EA? Or Eldrazi Monument? You'd have a nigh-unkillable creature that takes all the damage you'd be taking otherwise, so all you have to worry about is "Lose life" effects.

@Sorrensen: To your first question: No, with an exception. Questions like this can easily be answered by going to the rulebook (http://www.wizards.com/Magic/TCG/Article.aspx?x=magic/rules) and simply looking it up. Rule 702.6, appropriately labeled Equip, gives the reminder text for Equip: "Attach this Equipment to target creature you control. Activate this ability only any time you could cast a sorcery.'" And Shroud tells us that the creature cannot be targeted. So no, she's stuck how she is, unless you use Quest for the Holy Relic or Stonehwer Giant, which put, which doesn't involve targeting, so they would work.
Second question: Even if you went through all that trouble to put Sword of Kaldra on her, she would be indestructible, but Infect and anything that says all creatures get -8/-8 (such as with Mutliate when your opponent has 8 or more swamps), as anything that says all creatures... (see all)

Pair her off with Dramatic Entrance, since she counts for a green card, and you can get an 8 CMC for 5.

Seems like a nice thing to make Indestructible.
Elspeth, Knight-Errant anyone? ^_^
EDIT: 5-color Angels
You run this and Maelstrom Archangel, plus a Power Puff Girls shell, and you make it work by using Kaalia NOT as the general but in the 99. You're general is Scion of the Ur-Dragon, and you run the 5 Planar Chaos Dragons plus whatever other Dragons and Angels you want.
You stick as many broken-out-the-wazoo-utility cards in all 5 colors to make it run, so you'll be taking lots of extra turns, playing too many lands per turn, destroying every permanent you don't control with one card, tutoring instead of drawing, and various other shenanikers.
