I see what you are trying to do, but all the Gold you can spend on spellvamp or the SV passive is plain better in pure AP. Put that money in AP and MRpen and your heal also gets stronger, but with more damage

Plus, you need to outdamage your opponents; your build-in heal is nice, but against a burst it is pretty much useless.

Spellvamp is bad because W and R do not fully apply it (AoE: one third effectiveness).
