Sorc Boots are better, Lots of people say Ionian and I feel as if they just really miss the good old days with vlad's 3 sec cooldown. To be honest, The magic pen helps you "burst" for what its worth, a well placed ult with vlad = win teamfight. Which is FAR MORE IMPORTANT than spamming abilities over time for damage, esp if they decide that your hemomancer butt is worth it to focus and you die right after you R > E > Q with no time to pool due to CC.

Also, if you need CD reduc...Just start with mastery in offence+glyphs (flat). When you have enough dmg go build kindlegem, or if you feel like you need more sustain. Spirit visage, but you don't need to finish the item asap...that gold could have been used for more dmg. (for me I build it somewhere between deathcap+Will+blasting wand and Rylai's amp tome/giant's belt.)
