I do find spell vamp useful in some games. There's a discussion below as to whether WotA or Gunblade is better on Ryze (not as obvious as you might initially think). That said, it's hardly core. Also, if you already have Frozen Heart and max-level Q, you shouldn't really need any more CDR to hit the cap, since it's very easy to get 10% CDR for Ryze from masteries - just run 21 in utility, which I contend is better than running 21 in offence since Ryze doesn't scale tremendously well with AP, whereas utility gives him more mana, more spell vamp, more CDR and more movement speed. You then stick a few points in Offence for the CDR there, after which I actually like to stick a couple of points in Defence, though I could see just plonking 9 in Offence and having done with it.
