Blue Build Ezreal, in my opinion, will never be "back in commission". Building Muramana is the most notable problem of the build, as it takes time to charge up the Tear. By building the Tear early, you are opting into a rather poor offensive game in exchange for late game power. In the current metagame, many games do not even reach the stage where the Blue Build would be the most powerful. It's much better to just put that 700 gold into a Pickaxe or a B.F Sword for more offensive power. There's also the problem of when to build the Iceborn Gauntlets and Essence Reaver now, as both are rather lackluster items on Ezreal.

The most optimal Ezreal build right now is probably just rushing Blade of the Ruined King into another offensive Item, such as a Last Whisperer, Infinity Edge, or Trinity Force.

Trinity Force > Gauntlets Berserker Greaves > Ionian Boots of Lucidity Infinity Edge > All Other Offensive Options Last Whisperer is always strong Blade of the Ruined King is core

The above should probably be your build right now on Ezreal, with a defensive item such as Guardian Angel, Mecurial Scimitar or Banshee's Veil to round it out.

The Blue Build is still an interesting path, however. Muramana and Essence Reaver do have insane synergy, despite both items being rather lackluster.

AD Casters were nerfed as a whole this patch. You typically just want to become an autoattacking machine now. Even getting Trinity Force is a bit iffy right now, because building critial stike chance is more worth it because of Infinity Edge, and Trinity Force doesn't give you that much Crit.
