To be honest I'm a bit skeptical of the Liandry's Torment item on Vlad. Getting it usually means that you'll have to drop an arguably stronger item as well as it being less than effective unless you have Rylai's. This is a big problem because there are four items you will always get on Vlad besides boots. Deathcap, Wota, Zhonya's, and Void staff. A sixth item usually is reserved for Rylai's if your team doesn't have CC or abyssal with a team that has cc/against a team that is balanced.

There is simply no space to drop anything for Liandry's besides sixth item and even then % current hp isn't a strong stat. Even more so when it gives only 15 magic pen compared to the incredible durability gain of abyssal+the magic resist reduction that works for the team.

As much as I really really like Liandry's I just don't think it can go on champs like vlad who don't normally have the luxury/space to buy it with Rylai's.
