The cooldown on Spirit well outways the lost gold on mana regen, the passive is nice if you ever go to farm the jungle, which you should. You still get aura's from yourself in pool just not others, so Wota is still good. The spell vamp is basically to alliviate the health cost in lane and improve sustain, not make him some undying late game beast. That's what his kit does. Also, with some cooldown and magic pen, which you should get on Vlad because he scales beautifully with it, you will be healing for a fair amount more than you're accounting for, and more often too.
