First of all, I dunno all the english Names for the Items, since I play the Game in German.

On masteries, I use 17 in Knowledge to get the Badit Mastery (3 gold when hitting an enemy champion once in 5 seconds) - Vampirism and the passive gold income are also quite handy. Rest goes to offensive.

On runes I have scaling AD marks, scaling armor signets and scaling cdr glyphs and essences... might not be 100% perfect but I'm kinda short on IP.

I start with spellthief's edge and try building it to frostfang asap.

Next on the line is sheen, which significantly boosts my poke and i try to build IBG asap for the CC.

By the time I have IBG, I usually have Boots as well.

After that, I go for RoA, Rabadons and Zhonya's, but I'm somewhat flexible.

It's somewhat true that Ez is squishy, but so are Soraka and other non-tank Supports, and his Teleport is quite a life saver. Against the Grabbers (Thresh, Blitz and Nautilus) I can poke enough to ruin their day, simply because they might start off way more durable but usually starve on gold, while I make money by poking. By the time the enemy Sup can afford something decently helpful, I already have frostblade and sheen which is usually enough to force them in such a defensive position that even their Jungler can not gank (since they have low health...). If my ADC is agressive, we usually have won the lane by the time I have IBG, which allows me to gank and permaslow the victims.

It should be noted, that I do not save up my ult, I will pretty much permanently use it to target the top/mid champs when they are in battle (meaning they are trading with my mates and don't stay at max health) - later on I usually manage to bring my ult before during and shortly after a teamfight or use it to help creepwaves depending on the situation.

I'm not saying it's THE Support, or a godlike build, but I'm pretty confident it's not worse than VelKoz, Fiddlesticks or some others that have become supports "because they can".
