AD malz is still in "searching for viable build" status. It used to be a full troll build, but the advent of season 3 and the new items available, notably minion buff auras, have rendered AD malz borderline viable (at least below diamond).

The thing is, he is still "missing" something to be truly as effective as his AP counterpart: The aura items are mostly support items, Malz still has difficulty stacking AD even if penetration is easier to get now, and people disagree in wether he should be played full AD or hybrid, tanky or glass cannon, what lane he should go in and his role in teamfights.
