Well, you waste the mana part. I wouldn't rush it, but after some major health+ap item, some cdr, spellvamp and penetration you could go for it

his range is low, but that's true for his spells, as well.

You could try Spectral Wraith, Ionian, Rabadon, deathfire, lichbane, rilay. More or less in this order. But mind that you're not to be as tanky as a usual vladimir: 500 + 840 (from 600 ap) extra HP, but no resistances. you could swap the deathfire for a Zhonya it the enemy team is heavy ad, but I don't see a way to get there some heavy magic resist. On the other hand you could use lich bane for an extra 500 damage every 2 seconds.

It could be a good build if you have a team that can keep mosto of the enemy team busy with hard cc without you.
