^ Oh yeah I forgot to mention, Vigor with 3HP/5 can heal back almost the entire offensive mastery page in ~5-10 seconds early game and late game it'll still be decent because you'll have more resistances (I hope).

btw, I yesterday beat a Kog and a Cassio with defense masteries. Maybe they were noobs, but at least early game I came out of trades on top while Cassio had me poisoned and used her twin fang as much as she could. Turns out she had mostly AP masteries and runes and if that doesn't work for her it definatly won't on Vlad who has worse AP scalings on his spells than Cassio.

btw, if you don't go utility masteries I do recommend you get some ms quints. Movespeed on Vlad is very nice because you have to get in close so often, for me it really makes the difference between a good laning phase and a bad one.
