Blue Ezreal and normal Ezreal are two different things. Blue Ezreal Relies on his Q much more than normal. That is why there are so many cooldown reduction items in his build. It is aimed for doing as much damage as possible with Qs.

Normal Ezreal relies on all of his spells, yes, both of them rely on poke but normal Ezreal can do some auto attacking if situation requires. Blue Ezreal is really bad when it comes to auto attacking since his only attack speed source would be his passive and blade of the ruined king. Normal Ezreal has Trinity force, sometimes zerks and sometimes blade of the ruined king.

Original blue ezreal was: ionian boots, blade of the ruined king, muramana, iceborn gauntlet, last whisper and spirit of the elder lizard. People did some variations on it by adding trinity instead of iceborn but that breaks the 40% cooldown reduction and goes away from the original build.

Because of the removal of Spirit of the elder lizard, blue Ezreal remained but people added other items instead of it. With the addition of Essence Reaver, blue Ezreal became a thing again because there is now an item that gives more AD but the same amount of cooldown reduction.

Bottomline

Normal Ezreal if you want to rely on all of your spells, want to duel here and there and want to do a mix of poke and autos.

Blue Ezreal if you want to heavily rely on poking with Q. Also, blue Ezreal is not very good if you miss your Qs, normal Ezreal is not suffering that much from that problem. Yes, it bothers them both but normal Ezreal can deal with it while blue can't.
