It depends on how much gold you return to base with, how much sustain you'll need to stay in lane long enough to get the rest of your gold, and then what you've bought up to that point. I believe the last time I played Ezreal I bought a Doran's blade of course for my first trip and then bought Cull and a Hunter's potion. But usually and this is even before the change to the items I found that buying Sheen was best but sitting on it instead of rushing it into Triforce was better. I would get Sheen and then I would start building the other essentials. The boots, the Attack speed, the Critical damage that isn't triforce and then Last Whisper or these days the that's basically Last Whisper. Then I'd finish Sheen and turn into Triforce.

Essence Reaver is probably a better priority pick but I don't like going into lane without more than just the Doran's blade and because Reaver no longer has life steal it's harder to buy it for health sustain in lane so you have to choose one or the other if the laning phase is that tough on you.

Right now Warlord's Bloodlust could help with that but it's fate is being changed so at best there's feast which is good but not good enough.

Then there's the fact that Reaver only gives you mana on crit so invariably this item is only useful when you buy some other item with critical chance and you might even want two if you really depend on it.

So to make a long thing short. Don't rush essence reaver unless you have a entire rune page of crit chance. Trinity Force is fine i'd still worry about how much damage you can deal without Penetration. There's a few early life steal items you can get your hands on and a Sheen goes a long way.
