The blue build is sub-par for damage and always has been. I've heard it was originally devised for Urgot, who's obviously not an ADC in any standard sense of the word but an anti-carry ranged bruiser. (Not that most people realise this and just build and play him as a standard ADC, but I digress).

You will never reach the damage of someone with crits using blue build. You get 125% of your base AD as often as you can proc it, yes, but your only other real source of damage is Muramana and you just won't be able to sustain high levels of damage with that because it burns through your mana bar far too quickly. Aside from that you just have regular, non-critting AAs with lacklustre AS - any standard ADC in a DPS battle with someone using a blue build will win within a few autos.

The point of it was meant to be "kite everything into oblivion" although even then it wasn't always amazing - I've caught Blue Ez countless times without even needing Ghost or Flash.
