"The reason for not taking flat HP runes it's just that they are not beneficial at all. His passive promotes building AP more than investing in pure Health items. Thus, the amount of health provided by those runes would be so minimal that It's practically a waste of a rune slot. You can try using these, and you will see what I mean."

no just...no I mean hell, if you're just going to take health per level runes with vlad then might as just take flat AP runes, would give you almost the same bonuses with the added effect of getting AP, really useful since you're saying his early game is his weakness "Also, If spellvamp sucks so hard at early levels, why is the revolver generally one of the first items you get on Vlad?" goddamn, because when you get it, it also adds AP to vlad. Just imagine what your 6% spellvamp would do to your unAPboosted vlad? I imagine plus 6-9 HP with your q does wonders to your game, huh? "As for the lategame, spellvamp is one of the best things Vlad could have" and here we have our problem, you directly stated that vlad has a weak early game, planning for late game with runes just isn't really going to work. People use runes/masteries as pre-game "items", what they would buy to boost their early game then leave the late game to their items/skills not plan ahead when they aren't even sure if they'd get there
