Spirit visage is good early to mid game but falls off lategame. You should really think of something else there maybe. Not saying it is generally bad though. I played like this some time too but it just lacked the damage. Also you're hard countered by magic resistance there. Consider getting Voidstaff when the enemies stack 100+ mres and else the scepter for mres and mpen aura since you're close range anyway. Gives some survivability plus burst, always good on Vlad. Rest of the items are somewhat core, especially the will (but finish it after deathcap if possible or else you lack dmg in midgame plus more dmg = more life from spellvamp).
