Malzahar can ... do everything. Huh.

EDIT -- I failed to talk about how Malzahar can do anything. That was supposed to be a question. Mid, duh, Jungle, Yup, Support, pretty good -- Top and ADC? Does that work at all? Cheers.

Hey there, Master Fledgling here!

So I finally took the advice of a wise Riot employee and took up Malzahar. Namely, AD Malzahar Midland and AP/Movespeed Malzahar Support.

And it all works -- SOMEHOW. Anyways, I wanted a smidgen of wisdom when it comes to both. AD Malzahar is DESTROYING games in ways that I don't understand how it's not meta or Riot doesn't nerf it, my core build looking something like this:

item 3723 item 3004 item 3158 and usually then item 3142 for maxed out CDR, good AD and chasing power. After that I go either tankyish and movement withitem 3102 item 3742 item 3512 all of these either preserving me from CC or just generally helping me scoot around the map.

Support I need more help with I figure. With item 3092 disabled, I build item 3069 item 2045 item 3020 and that serves as a pretty decent core. From there, since I am not in it do deal damage, I like to throw in CDR and even more movement (Because silencing a group for 3 seconds and locking some sucker down for 2.5 at a distance is helpful regardless of my stats.)

item 3023 item 2053 item 3742 item 3800 all have made sense thus far, but then I truly am just for support. Is it better to chase down people or should I try to have some damage? I know it's not all black and white, but face checking ANY Malzahar can be a deadly mistake.

Thanks and rito don't nerf my AD hoodie ninja, (Although a time remaining on the Voidlings and Pokemon themed 'Bug Catcher Malzahar' would be MUCH appreciated)

Why do people mark me down so much? =/ I am not advocating for crazy, inane strategies, like 5 man bot lanes. I'd at least like to know why.

I ... I can't tell if you guys are actually telling me to not play, or being ironic.
