They seem to use them progressively more on each level of difficulty. Just like the grunts. The black elites throw them around like they have an unlimited supply, (oh wait, they do) especially on legendary. I love the way they flick their arm and chuck them at you, there's so little warning.. in fact it took me a while to notice it was actually them that threw them, i thought it was a nearby grunt and I just didn't hear it announce the grenade. It's also fun to suicide them when they tag you with one.
Their colour determines how often they throw them.. other things too, like how much they jump away from grenades. Blacks definately throw them more. Red elites seem to dive away more than blue ones. There's lists of this stuff at halo.bungie.org.
