I think his ult should give him much more spellvamp, and here's the reason:

I rolled a game with him and decided to try spellvamp as a last item. I figured hey, together with his ult, he should be healing half the damage he dishes out. Together with the resists from Banshee and Frozen Heart, I should be pretty hard to take down right? Well, sadly towards end-game I still barely felt the effects of the spellvamp and it occured to me why: spellvamp effect is reduced for AOE spells - and his ult makes all his spells AOE...

Now I'm not sure if Ryze buff is really called for. He seems to be pretty balanced where he is now IMO. But if Riot's redesign was to fulfil the idea of a tanky spellvamp mage... they've failed.
