When you're building Ezreal AP, you want Lich Bane, since Mystic Shot will apply the on-hit effect from it (and for an Ezreal built AP, that on-hit is pretty big damage). Rylai's is for people who can make good use of it, like Akali or Soraka or Singed. Rod of Ages would be acceptable if Lich Bane didn't exist, but it does, so you don't want to delay that item any longer than necessary.

If you need some mechanism to keep people from getting away, there aren't any good options for AP; you'll have to accept that you are just a pure damage dealer, and leave the CC to others. Hybrid, however, has the active on the Hextech Gunblade (most people forget that it has a major 50% slow that lasts for 3 seconds at an acceptable 700 range) as well as the chancy proc on Trinity Force, so keep that in mind when it comes to choosing a build for Ezreal.
