They don't know how to play Vlad. Wota, Deathcap, and Zhonya's are arguably some of his best items. Rylai's is good but it depends on the team. If you have more than enough CC on the team already, Rylai's is a minor improvement but comes with no defensive stats to benefit you. Zhonya's however synergizes with your passive, gives the most offensive power in terms of AP, second only to deathcap. And lets you pull off crazy things such as R-> E, Q, Pool, E, Q, Zhonya's, E, Q pool, and just be a huge nuisance and source of damage to the enemy team.

Obviously this requires good positioning but...Zhonya's is arguably one of his better items. Deathcap, Wota, Zhonya's, and Void staff are all decent items (void staff because CDR boots make it somewhat difficult when the enemy buys any MR.)
