No rushing Wota. Sticking with a revolver+kage's for a while is more than enough until you finish one/two major items.

In S2 those items would have been Deathcap and Zhonya's. S3 it is more like Deathcap, Rylai's. You might also grab a few mid tier items once they are released depending on the lane. Plate of the Warmage seems interesting and very cost efficient if you need to counter that physical damage lane.

In short, Revolver+Deathcap. Core on Vlad. Deathcap both increases damage and healing because of Q's AP ratio. Oh and you get a bit of tankyness from passive.
