After a bit of theory-crafting and testing I believe the best build for Vlad currently is going straight into as much cdr as possible, not just giving him the natural sustain like he has before with WotA, but also giving as little downtime on Crimson Rush as possible, allowing for repositioning in and out of fights.

So after Lucidity boots Fiendish Codex and Kindlegem I think Rylais would be the best choice. Codex is a great item to rush, being able to build into both Zhonyas or Abyssal, both items Vlad appreciates. Kindlegem going into Spirit Visage also sounds awesome, considering the HP scaling buff and visages improved healing factor.
