Who Wins

Pre-6, Caitlyn and Lux win the 2v2 — Caitlyn's range advantage and Lux's E zone control prevent you from safely Q-healing or poking, and any E root from Lux sets up a free Caitlyn headshot combo that you cannot sustain through without burning your W on cooldown.
Post-6, your R gives global pressure but the lane 2v2 still favors them because Lux R + Caitlyn R can burst Ezreal before your R heal lands if you're not pre-emptively casting it.

Your trading pattern is to Q a minion to heal Ezreal after he takes poke, then use W only when he's in serious danger — do not W reactively to small Caitlyn autos or you'll go OOM and lose all sustain value.
Silencing yourself with W to heal is a major tempo loss against a lane that wants to zone you, so prioritize Q sustain over W burst heals unless Ezreal is below 40% HP.

You want a slow push into a freeze near your tower — this denies Caitlyn her trap-under-tower setup and keeps you safe from Lux E engages in the open.
Avoid shoving the wave because a pushed wave gives Lux free roam threat and puts you in Caitlyn's extended range with no escape.

Do not stand in a position where Lux E can hit both you and Ezreal simultaneously — this is the single biggest mistake in this lane because a double-root into Caitlyn headshots is a near-guaranteed kill.
Always position offset from Ezreal so one E cannot catch you both.
