"Malz's sustained damage on E and on all his spells in general allows lifesteal to be much much more effective than on most burst casters; since you can make use of the lifesteal to stay alive longer and re-cast your spells."

Spellvamp is a poor, poor choice for a lot of ap carries, especially Malz. You're paying for something that should be covered by hp pots, RoA, or playing well in the first place. This is gold that doesn't go toward any stat that helps you carry and only ambiguously helps your health. You're not going to outsustain your laning opponent's damage with just a revolver and spending anything more diverges further and further from real carry gear.
