Also I'm not sure about CS advantage, Malzahar doesn't even need to be looking, his CS just grows by 5-6 when he throws the DoT move on a wave. I think Malzahar pretty much had mid done without even trying because he gets the creeps, has easy harass with q/ when E reaches the enemy champion, and then at 6 he can full combo you with ignite and make you b or kill you.
Taking a few hp pots with you being required means you've no good sustaining.... You won't catch a Lux in your combo because she outranges you in every way and every idiot knows you should flash out when malz lays that pool if you ever get caught out of position that way or if he flashes in. I rarely find myself not being able to dodge his silence and even then I don't think it outranges any of luxxes skills. I usually do have problems stopping his farm whenever his DoT gets maxed or he gets some ap, but that can be solved by keeping up a good harass and forcing him b or cannon minions or tanking one of it with your shield. I think malzahar could be a great champion against some like Annie but Lux outdoes him in the laning phase at least in my not so humble opinion I guess.
