^ It simply does not provide any good late game stats for Vlad and definitely does not have any AP worth mentioning. Besides extra sustain over your Will. Will should be more than enough.

Stats: 250 hp, 10% CDR, 30 mr (these are mid game stats, no AP)

The passive mathematically gives

Spellvamp: 20 (from wota) *1.15(add 15% healing effectiveness)*1.32(4 stacks of E) = 30.36% Compared to: 20*1.32 = 26.4% (4% difference)

Base number of Q heal (you won't be using W for healing.) 55*1.15*1.32 = 83.49

Compared to: 72.6 11 hp difference

Q heal AP ratio.

Ratio: 0.25 ratio *1.15*1.32 = 0.3795 (ratio)

Compared to: 0.33 (0.05 ratio difference.)

You are much better off getting the AP item for damage rather than visage. More AP = more damage = more healing. You can also out do the mr and usefulness gotten from visage with Abyssal scepter or QSS.

All of this said, it simply doesn't fit in a normal build for Vlad. But if you built Cooldown boots, Will, Revolver, and Visage with Spellvamp quints and such. I'll give you that, that is a pure sustain based build that although I don't agree with as a viable build. It is pretty trolly and fun if you are far enough ahead.
