I find Ez can be played as AP, DPS or Hybrid depending on what his team needs. I do find that Hybrid, although it should work, doesn't do well. At least from how I build him, I usually find I need: Sheen+Iaonian Boots+Tears of the Goddess+ Frozen Mallet. My Hybrid build requires Lichbane from Sheen, and death cap for a huge AP boost. Than I have one item +tear upgrade, which is usually manamune + Gunblade. However, I find I just don't have enough damage on either end and find that pure AP or pure DPS works better than hybrid on Ez.

For DPS, I usually find Manamune+Frozen Mallet+Trinity Force+Iaonian boots+Black Cleaver+Bloodrazor works great, or I'll drop the trinity force for a Banshee's Veil if need be.

For AP I usually find Archangels+Frozen Mallet+Lichbane+Iaonian Boots+Deathcap+Majais' Soulstealer works well, swapping Soulstealer out for BV if needed.

I find that AP works as well as DPS, and he still does heavy physical damage, but ends up doing about equal AP damage (Since Q does physical, and its lichbane procs also do physical). I prefer AP, but find I have to go DPS more often since a lot of folks go Tanky AP, or AP.
