Okay, I have a cool creature that's missing a CR and ECL. I'd really appreciate any help. By the way, he uses material from Complete Mage, Complete Arcane, Cityscape, and, of course, the Monster Manual.

Tactics: Prefers enchantments and minions to actual combat, but can hold his own in a fight with fell flight, eldritch cone, brimstone blast, and baleful utterance. See the unseen makes it impossible to use invisibility to get the drop on him.

It's a 13hd creature, and can use warlock abilities as his HD level. I would say a +7 LA and atleast CR14. But I've never been good at judging things.

Edit: your way of stating monsters is a little confusing.
shapechange has to be adjusted, rakshasa can only become small or medium humanoids, for these guys I would let the change into any giant.
Give these guys some equipment.

These guys would go good in eberron, primarily in xen'drick.
Give them Giant as an automatic language.
