Honestly if the Vlad knows what he's doing, you won't beat him. His harass is indeed painful, you will have to abuse the bush to farm safely. But it is also true that you can out trade him simply by walking up to him and hitting on him while your Hiten Style is active. But a good Vlad won't let you do that.

You can Q to low hp minion-which will kill it-then E Vlad and then start hitting him with W turned on and finishing with a Q as your W is about to expire. This should bring him to 50% hp assuming you guys are even.

In the early levels, Vlad's Q has a high cd...knowing that you can try to trade with him then....Irelia should be really strong from 4-6 against Vlad.

For this matchup consider starting Fortitude/6 pots/ward or 9 pots/2 wards...you can rush a philo and just concentrate on farming...but best thing to do is rush Hexdrinker...once you get this your lane should be much easier to deal with.
