Hextech Revolver lets you spam with impunity and it builds into Will of the Ancients later. It's the one thing I always get on him early.

You will want: AP, CDR, magic pen And to some extent maybe: move speed, spell vamp, resists, health But you do not want: mana, MP5.

This doesn't leave that many items to choose from, and most of them are good in various combinations. I'd get Revolver, Sorc Shoes, Haunting Guise... probably Spirit Visage now that it affects spell vamp... Maybe a filler AP item (Abyssal, Zhonya's, Rylai's, Soulstealer if you feel lucky) and a deathcap. You could take Ionian boots instead, get a void staff, and skip Haunting Guise.

People who play Vlad more might have other ideas.
