I've actually been impressed by the electropriests, they've been solid blockers able to dish out good damage to hordes (Corpuscarii) and vehicles (Fulgurites) alike. Mobility and objective taking are still weaknesses.

I like how it's a bit of everything! I feel like that's necessary this edition, but people haven't figured that out yet.

Question: Are you built to deal with harlequins or CSC getting a big turn 1 assault in?

I haven't played against Harlequins or GSC yet, but I made the switch from Infiltrators to Electropriests after getting my teeth kicked in by an aggressive Tyranid list with Genestealers, Mawlocs, Trygons, and Harpies galore. I think they're more effective bubble-wrap than most other options available to Admech. I do think the combined arms approach will work well for this army in the long run.
