For fizz mid, pick E first, and then Q, but still max W first for better trades.

Many of the pros will max E first so they can push lane and gank, but if you're not going to gank other lanes, than W just straight up provides more damage for duels, and it costs far less mana to use.

Yes, you are right, his AP build is far better than bruiser, and the only other build that is even viable imho is on-hit (Wits End, Bloodrazor, etc.)

Your build isn't bad, but I would suggest starting with a D-Ring, and dropping CDR boots for Sorc schoes. Also, try dropping catalyst -> RoA for an early kages -> DFG. I would suggest this in the jungle too.

While the health from RoA is nice, the over all burst you gain from the DFG is amazing, and because of its lower cost, you can buy an additional dorans if needed.
