You can try early game sustain vlad: Go flat AP glyphs and seals, HP quints and magic penetration marks. Masteries 10/0/21, taking cooldown reduction, summoner's wrath, flat AP and magic penetration in offense, and time spent dead, movement speed, extra gold per 5, CDR and especially 40 extra gold. That way, you can start with boots and 4 health pots, or if you wait for a few seconds after minions spawn, you can buy 5th health pot. You will rarely have to leave the lane.
