I disagree that turning the current form of spell vamp in to a heal over time would fix it, as it would just make the healing more difficult to see (what spell is giving me this much regen, and why is my regen spiking irregularly?) and wouldn't stop champions like or  from abusing it. It would also not work that well on anybody: burst champions want burst healing, and so wouldn't do well with just regen, and DPS champions would get capped far too quickly into their spell rotation. I think it would be better to split spell-based healing into more tailored forms, so that both playstyles can have the sustain they want without it becoming abusive.
