Uh, no.

Steady DPS fighters do more damage than AP Nukers in the longer run. Unless you had enough damage to kill the other guy within five spell casts, it should be impossible to win in a 1v1 battle of equal skills without having Exhaust up.

Especially since you need Arcane Shift to do extra damage, it means you're gonna explode into a bloody mist if you don't do enough damage in the first few seconds and need to run away. Because you -can't- run away (same movespeed, and AD Ez still has his Arcane Shift up for chasing). Don't forget that AD Ez can nearly DOUBLE his attack speed just by landing the same skills back at you, even if they don't do as much damage.

AD Ez is a 1v1 assassin. He eats squishies alive. Meanwhile, AP Ez is more of a team fighter, but quite vulnerable otherwise; he has the downside of all the other nukers of having to compensate for his Cooldown-downtime.
