Manamune is a good item, it just doesn't really fit on Ezreal when you are playing him as a ranged DPS carry. Your gold is better spent on items that multiply your damage output more quickly, like Infinity Edge, Phantom Dancer, Last Whisper, etc, because that's what your team is expecting from you.

You have more latitude to use a Manamune if you aren't the team's only carry. For example, if you are jungling with Ezreal, or if there is a secondary carry taking top lane (like Corki or Kayle). In that case, it's a good item because it's cost-effective for the AD it gives, and you can spam skills all day long. Ezreal becomes more of an AD caster at that point.

But 95% of the time, when you are bot lane with a support, there's a mage in mid lane, and top/jungle are bruiser tanky-DPS types, Manamune is basically a bad decision.
