De-essing a vocal track is not a great example because when you get an "ESS" it's the only thing happening at that moment, so ducking the track and ducking the "ESS" are one and the same thing: This technique is a short cut for going through the track and manually automating level. (Where things become a little more interesting would be when de-essing a vocal within a mix rather than in isolation...)
The essence of the thread is that its possible to use the sidechain to control other areas of the frequency spectrum too...but I'm contesting this, in that I dont think you can very easily tame boominess for example by chucking a lot of low end into a sidechain. If eq failed I'd be looking at a multiband.
