The first thing you really have to assure, is that you'll be able to come out even off the laning phase. Besides that, the actual impact the given choices do make is pretty much non-existant. 27.5 AP without Rabadons or Pens aren't that valuable, but neither are a total of 30 MPen once the enemies carries have 1 MR item.

Regarding your build: You're overdoing it on building HP - if you'd instead invest in more AP, you'd get the health regardless and would score a higher overall damage. Especially in the lategame Vladimirs passive is incredibly valuable, gifting you with 1000 HP (a full, oldschool Warmogs). (I'd advise you to replace Liandrys)
