I've recently been having better outcomes with running spell vamp quints and forgetting spell vamp item all together. With the new regen in the S4 defense tree, I find that that 20% spell vamp is unecessary, and I usually rush mercs+armguard. But I also generally fill play tank vlad, because I am the tank on my 5s team.

My full build is Mercs+Zhonyas+Visage+Funfire+Void and one of DFG/randuins/lichbane for damage/tank/split-push roles, respectively. Deathcap is also good in situations where you don't need someone to isnt-gib, and Liandry's for then they are stacking health.

Honeslty, vlad doesn't have a single build path that can be labeled his "best," and there are alot of items that are viable on him.
