Don't ignore the advantage the flat AD gives you early on. Ezreal's calling card is how dominating that he is in the lane at low levels. If you have ArPen Marks, you are wasting potential damage output until Armor catches up. It's not just about extra damage on his ultimate, it's about being able to be flexible with starting items without having to sacrifice damage output.

I would much rather abuse Annie early on when she is weak, zoning her out and making her for B if not outright killing her, than getting a few points of damage later on after she can already insta-gib me with her stun Tibbers combo. This is easier with AD marks.

High elo players play against other high elo players, and their build choices aren't necessarily the best against people who aren't as good at the game. You're obviously free to copycat people as opposed to coming up with your own strategies, but you do so at your own peril. Doran's Blade is a piece of crap. You're better off buying a Long Sword and a couple of potions, because it puts you that much closer to a bunch of useful advanced items for Ezreal, while not giving up sustain and still dealing high damage. Hopefully we're not going to make the case for 3% lifesteal being significant.
