You on't have to play Ez with a Triforce. I've built Ez in a variety of ways. His strength is probably the fact that he can be played with a huge set of builds.

Rather than a triforce, do something else: For instance this build was one I ran a while back and it did pretty well

Starting with Dorans + Pot I went:

Brutalizer + Boots > Vamp > Cleaver > Lucidity > BFS > Essence Reaver > Zeal > Statik Shiv > BFS > Bloodthirster > IE/Scimitar/other defensive item to finish it off

With Ez being more poke and AD casting, he doesn't benifit from being overly crit focused (He can easily, but with him being more of an AD caster I sometimes opt out of IE till late). As a result the above build, which will give you a total of 35% cdr, shiv's bonus, some Arpen, and about 215-295 bonus AD from items alone, you're lookng at a 300 to 400 AD ezreal that lses well, has enough CDR to Q endlessly given he can hit, has AR pen that benefits him AND his team, and does not run out of mana (Given he can land Q)

As for AP ez, it's really a matter of what you start first imho and what your first real item is. I typically go for an item like a needlessly large rod before I touch lich bane. Sheen is just an item I get early to last hit, while chalice is for mana issues. Sometimes I get tear and just get archangle before I go for Lich too. He's not good till you get one of those items out.
