His HP amount is usually pretty irrelevant, as he is frail and taken down very fast and very easily. His Health may be above that of other mages, but not to any sufficiently meaningful extent.

Sustain is usually not so much for fighting. The pool is a pretty poor tool also, unless you're escaping while in a good position to do so and/or have help, it's unlikely to help in a fight.

Burst>Damage over time! You're not gonna be doing damage when you're already dead!

Vladinir is NOTHING like Warwick... A properly built Warwick can take out a severe beating and survive and will do very significant amounts of damage by himself, plus, he's nowhere near as team/item reliant.

That said, the question was specifically talking about not relying on the team! This is Vlad's weakness. Seriously, whenever i see him in normal games and/or non-very-high ELO games it's pretty much 9 out of 10 times the equivalent of a 4vs5 match... Without the help of a really well coordinated team around him, Vlad is just the most pathetic and unthreatening of champions.

Funny that the abilities people complain about, concerning blance, are specifically the ones thet make him useful for the team (E/R); Personally, i would not mind to see them completely changed for something else and have Vlad be an overall better champion, even if not as devastating of a team player.
