Ezreal is a good damage dealer, so improving your skill with his moves and tweaking your item build will probably help a lot.

Two things to keep in mind. First, his passive helps him avoid having to have a major AS item in his build. Second, Mystic Shot will procs on-hit effects, but can't crit. So as a result, I usually avoid things like Phantom Dancer and Infinity Edge that are staples on other carries, and instead gravitate towards items such as Black Cleaver, Trinity Force, Madred's, Wriggles, etc. Manamune is a really cost-efficient AD item for Ezreal, since it's cheap and he fills the bonus mana very quickly. Bloodthirster is also very nice, since he can easily fill the stacks on it, even by flinging his ult across the map. Brutalizer is excellent early on because of its price and stats, but don't build it into a Ghostblade, sell it and buy something else.

I basically build strictly on-hit and AD with him, surviving off secondary +AS% from items like Cleaver/Madred's and Trinity Force, and maybe getting a Banshee's Veil if I am getting focused hard. The specific items vary depending on the other team. For boots, I believe that Ionian is the best choice, but you can make an argument for Merc's Treads.

I don't like the Hextech Gunblade, but it works. Only if you remember to use the active, though. Generally speaking I prefer to use Guinsoo's Rageblade instead if I am going partial hybrid, since the Rageblade is 1400g less and synergizes easily with Ezreal (he can keep it stacked to 8 forever if he wants, since all of his moves are skillshots that don't require a target).

But the best thing to do is just to practice. Ez has a higher skill cap than most R-DPS carries.
