As to EC261, I *think* your delay has to be over 4 hours for a flight like LHR-RDU, however I would post your details in the EC261 thread below and I'm sure the experts will chime in.
GUIDE: EC261 / EC 261/2004 “EU” complaints, compensation and AA
No it doesn't
This was a cancelled flight, not a delayed flight
With a cancelled flight, compensation is due as long as
either
had to depart 1 hour early
or
arrived at destination > 2hours after scheduled
if the arrival time is >2 hours and not more than 4 hours, the compensation will be reduced by 50%
