You got a jungling item in mid. There's your first problem. You also got a mana regen item on Vlad. There's your second problem.

Just build a WotA. The additional AP and more relevant items will go significantly further on Vlad. There are so many other cooldown reduction items Vlad can use, most of them based off of the Kindlegem, which is basically a particularly tasty treat for Vlad. SotSW is for AP based junglers like Elise and Fiddlesticks, or even jungling Vlad. Anything based off of the Hunter's Machete is a jungling tool, not a laning tool, and there are better options for laning champions.
