It depends on the type of team that you are on, and the role that you're expected to play. I prefer to play Ezreal primarily AD with a little bit of AS (and ultimately a Triforce), but sometimes your team has more need of his autoattack DPS, especially in this meta. For that, you need an IE, and you also need your team to protect you in fights so that you can crank out the DPS.

Your poking game, burst, and Trueshot Barrage damage do suffer, though. IE is expensive for the AD it gives, so unless you are using the crit, it's a waste. For the price of an IE, you could have a Rageblade or a Manamune, and already have your B. F. Sword ready to be built into a Bloodthirster, for example.
