Vlad being the only champion I've ever had a pentakill on, I'll just leave some advice.

Harrassing them down is a good way to start. If you want a kill, with vladimir, it's usually yours. Make sure you have full stacks of your E and then Q your target, E them, and then give chase. If you don't have Rylai's Crystal Scepter then you'll probably have to blow your W to keep them in range. Hopefully once you pop back up from sanguine, you'll be able to Q then E again.

If you have rylai's then (especially with cooldown reduction boots) you'll be able to Q your target quicker than it takes for the slow to wear off.

If you can't kill someone with this sort of burst, putting hemoplague and ignite on help. If you still can't kill someone then you need to look at a new rune/mastery setup and perhaps different items. For the laning phase I always get magic pen boots and haunting guise. with my magic pen runes and masteries I'm close to true damage.
