He fits the popular double WotA meta and doesn't need mana, so one ap caster can take the blue for mid lane. He's sorta like Rumble, minus all the CC, probably stronger in a drawn out teamfight. Also, Vlad can easily beat Kennen if he doesn't get shutdown by level 9.

At level 9 (rank 5 Q) he heals for over 100 hp every transfusion (with revolver), and he can spam it every 3 or less seconds with CD boots, so yes, he does heal himself a lot. Compare this to Soraka's burst heal which is 350 hp on 20 second CD, Vlad heals himself twice that in the same amount of time and can deal damage at the same time.
