^ Early game every caster has practically no AP and vladimir's heals are 62.5 per transfusion (at lvl 5) so Its makes his healing effects pretty useless unless you take some spell vamp (Hextech Revolver = 20% spell vamp). With some spell vamp (Hextech Revolver) and transfusion at lvl 5 you will heal yourself by 62.5 + 50 HP. And with "Will of the Ancients" you will be healed by 62.5 + 62.5 with literally no AP.

Late game WotA works well anyway: Lets say Vladimir has 500 AP so his damage output is 550, and his healing effects are (62.5 + 500x0.25) = 187.5 plus the spell vamp from Wota (25%). So you will be healed by (187.5 + 137.5) = 325 per transfusion.

Even ToB works well with spell vamp, sometimes you will get healed instead of losing health.
