Okay, sure he can go through walls easier than Lucian can and there are a few that Lucian can't that Ezreal can. However, the basic cooldown of Arcane Shift is 11 seconds, while Lucian's dash is 10, so while you can lower the cooldown, if you aren't Qing, because you are running for your life well then good luck. And it takes 2 Qs to get it below Lucian's which means at least twice he has to stop and shoot a target.

During Lucian's Ult his can even be cast repeatedly if you kill targets, which is fantastic for sniping people low on health who either try to stick around or are even porting back to base.

The 50 range difference is practically irrelevant except for making sure you get through walls, but even if it was "huge" the removal of slows is better. The ability to dash and then run is much better than blink and then crawl because of flash. Take Nasus for example: His wither is death for Ezreal unless Ez has both Arcane shift and flash up. Lucian simply dashes and walks away on a similar cooldown.

The blink is only really important because he can't be targeted during the cast. If you are arcane shifting, they know where you are going (it's a small map), so the only question (which tends to be answered no) is whether to follow you into FoW or let you run.
