... but not as a remote slave with a 60d/7d master, you need a full 580ex2 master for this as I've just learned. I didn't recognize it because when I use hss with my 430ex2, I've got it mounted on my camera.

You need either:
580EX2
ST-E2
ML-14
MT-24
as master to get hss etc
So the cheapest option is the ST-e2 to get hss

they take AA batteries
the head rotates so you can point it at the flashes and get better reliability
its half the price

I always buy used - mine was £60 - and there are plenty around.
Contrary to street rumours the batteries last some time, so the battery cost is negligable
