Because Lion's Eye Diamond requires to be activated as an instant, does that mean that if I were activate it and discard my hand to flashback Echo of Eons, does the stack pass priority between tapping the Diamond and casting the card, thereby giving my opponent an opportunity to exile the card I want to cast with Scavenging Ooze?

Generally your opponent would not be able to respond, Lion's Eye Diamond's ability is a mana ability and therefore does not use the stack.
However, if something were to trigger when activating the ability or because of the discard it would go on the stack before you received a chance to cast Echo of Eons. This would prevent you from casting it in most circumstances until the stack finished resolving and would also allow your opponent to respond to things on the stack.
So, you mean Salvation users all over the place will burn their computers in attempt to prevent the forums from collapsing, and eventually, one of you will sacrifice himself and change the nature of the internet forever?
No, Lion's Eye Diamond is still a mana ability, it just has a special timing restriction. So LED's ability does not use the stack and can not be responded to, when it resolves and adds 3 mana to your mana pool you would receive priority to act again, which time you could cast Echo of Eons (which moves it out of your graveyard).
