In season three the w active was reduced from 35% to 15%

In 4.5 lich bane was needed from 75% to 50% AP ratio and the w active was buffed by only 10%

35% AP of his damage is over time, which is countered by life steal, shields, heals easily despite grievous wounds.

Riot has changed fizz before and recently, and they have no Iintention of giving him a major nerf. He was one of four champions compensated for the lich bane nerfs. His w is not much of his damage in the "free kills" sense, that is all his r e lich q. The w only helps it along.
