Hi there!
I can't speak to how difficult it is to switch majors with EC. I'm sure that some EC students here on the forum will be happy to address that. As to testing now before EC changes your major - absolutely. Don't wait. Just put together a general idea and get started. You can't go wrong by taking the introductory business tests now.
As to your "bidness" major, the CLEPS you have taken already are great for 2 reasons: 1) they are elective credits which you'll need anyway for any degree and 2) they will help out a little when you go to take Organizational Behavior and Princ of Management / Intro to Supervision. Trust me some of the sociology stuff appears on all 3 of those exams (if I never hear about Mazlow's Hierarchy of Needs again I won't miss it!)
As to business exams, I suggest you go the "cluster" route. There is a lot of overlap on several of the introductory business tests and it just makes sense to use that to your advantage. For example, try to group the Clep Management, Dantes Supervision together. They go nicely. Then maybe do Organizational Behavior, Marketing. By the time you are done with those, you can take the Dantes Intro to Business with practically no study because you've already studied for it in all those other exams.
Good luck with your plan!
