Byakko-Shiron: Spell-Vamp only applies to Magic and True damage, it does not apply to physical damage even from spells.

Poster after Byakko-Shiron: They want to slow them on the first hit without needing to charge up, Rylai's will accomplish this.

Catalyst vs. Tear: Catalyst is more expensive, but provides more lane sustainability. Tear is decent for building into late-game, and is cheaper. Personally, I'd prefer Philosopher Stone as a sustain item, or build Sheen if I think I can go aggressive.
