In the past when I played LoL, I generally see Ezreals building mostly attack damage and fill the role of the team's ranged AD carry.
I've recently started seeing Ezreal going mid lane and build AP to fill the role of the team's AP carry.
What are the advantages of building AP rather than AD on Ezreal? Doesn't only 2 of his spells scale of AP?

Ezreal is one of those champions that can be built several ways. As pure AD, as an AP caster, or as a hybrid.
All of Ezreal's skills scale off of AP. Essense Flux(0.7 AP ratio) and Archane Shift(0.75 AP ratio) both scale solely on ability power ratios while his Mystic Shot(1.0 AD ratio + 0.2 AP ratio) and Trueshot Barrage(1.0 AD ratio and 0.9 AP ratio) scale off of both AD and AP ratios.

Disadvantages include:
With these advantages and disadvantages in mind, whether you choose to go AP or AD on your Ezreal is entirely dependant on your play style.
