They changed his passive so that Vlad gains less HP by building AP but more AP by building HP. They changed his Q so that when casted twice, its base damage will be higher and will also heal based on Vlad's missing health. They changed his E so that it scales with health and slows when fully charged.

It seems like Riot is giving to Vlad more synergy with tankier builds. I imagine if items like Sunfire Cape will be viable for Vlad now, and items like Spirit Visage will be an even better choice for him.
