Basically, on hit Fizz is just as good as AP Fizz, as you get more damage from your W between casts. Howver, Fizz is known for his outstanding burst and AP ratios, so many people may not want to play him that way/it may be out of the meta/it may seem underpowered etc.

You trade some burst for more sustained damage and sometimes tankiness.
