I think the Hextech Revolver is the biggest culprit of all manaless AP balance issues (Vlad, Kennen, Akali, old Morde). If they stuck some kind of mana stat on it and WoTA, manaless casters would have to pay a lot more for that powerful spell vamp and have to consider the trade off. Meanwhile, Mana AP's who need some kind of sustain to make that spell vamp useful would get something out of an early investment in the items.
