Start with boots/pots 90% of the time. The rest of the order is situational. If I'm doing really well and I'm super rich, I'll go straight into my Rylai's right away. If I'm a little poorer, I'll start with cheaper stuff to get myself rollin, usually either a spirit visage or a haunting guise. Crucify me if you will, but I usually never end up getting a warmogs except maybe as a last item. Typical build for me would be boots/pots>haunting guise>rylai's>spirit visage>rabadon's>(zhonya's or abyssal or void staff, situationally). Some of these items are not the best of the best endgame gear, but usually it's over by then and this is the best stuff for the money on Vlad. And don't go hp tank on Vlad, folks. You'll just be a walking brick. And I use CDR boots, btw. I see the value in sorc boots, but if you get a haunting guise early, it makes up for the Mpen. Plus my runes are mostly set to Mpen anyway. I rarely lose with this build.
