When playing on mid (or against any magic damager) Spirit Visage is just awesome for him... First of all most opponents won't be able to nuke you due to the bonus HP (which also gives you a few points of AP). Combine it with the MR it gives and you'll be able to beat just about anyone on mid.

10% cooldown reduction is another thing Vlad needs badly. MOAR TRANSFUSIONS (and other skills)! :D On top of it all the healing and vamp boost is just godlike. With revolver and SV alone you'll have ~24% spell vamp.

I find myself getting it after basic boots and revolver. If I'm doing really well I just get the Kindlegem first, finish boots (most of the time CDR) and WotA and then SV. :)

This build won't give you huge burst damage, but you can live long enough to poke your opponent to death.
