With the same amount of AP a Malzahar can do 80% of a targets maximum health with his W which is both AoE and does not need to be triggered by other abilities. With a DFG it is 92,8% (since DFG only lasts 4 seconds and Malz W lasts 5 seconds you can't have the 20% dmg buff the entire duration). If you want to you can also count in the 2% from the Havoc mastery.

Since he does not require a Nashors Tooth it is also more likely that he can achive that kind of AP (Boots, DFG, Zhonyas, Deathcap, Seraphs and RoA with AP glyphs/quints and 21 in offense gives about 850-900 AP at lvl 18).

Point is... Malzahar does more dmg with one ability, as long as they stand in it.
