Spirit Visage adds Health, CDR, and MR, which none of the Spellvamp items offer, so it's not really a fair comparison. Plus there's nothing saying you can't have both.

Also, Rylai's will make it easier to land your W after E or Q, and makes Q slow even more effective.

However, that isn't to say that your way of playing is wrong, just that there are reasons for why certain choices are popular.
