That sums up my thoughts perfectly. (Although I'm not sure if you meant I was slightly right or wrong as you said I underestimated his skills).

Basically, with an AP Fizz, you jump in, blow ult and E, possibly Zhonya's too and take out their carry, sometimes 2 people. Only sometimes will you get out because you are certain to burn E.

Hybrid Fizz jumps in, maybe uses some skills, wait for W to resolve, jump out (well, that's the ideal scenario anyway). After QWing in, as you said, you still do have your ult and your E is you didn't need it (kinda unlikely but anyway), then you have so many more escaping opportunities.

On a final note, You can get around 1.6 AS and around 500 AP with decent resistances (but sadly no health) with a normal hybrid build. Rod of Ages is a completely fine item to substitute in if you want health. So that crazy damage will be even bigger...
