I see what you guys mean. I tried  just recently, both ad and hybrid. He's pretty much the same in damage terms. The constant procs of spellblade on is as good as the crits in his build.

The main difference though is that spellvamp from his. It's flipping hilarious. In his ad build, he would only have lifesteal to rely on but the hybrid build gives him both lifesteal and spellvamp. It doesn't hinder his damage either, since he still deals decent damage from spellblade procs and his Ardent Blaze. Oh and about that build path thing of. I actually got both, double slows were crazy. Kept his dps going while suprisingly keeping up damage from his other abilites.

All in all, I found that Ad was superior for dueling other champions but Hybrid was good for keeping you alive and picking off people in large teamfights, when if you stay too long you'll get focused down.
