I feel warmog is situational as it is pretty lackluster if you cannot make benefit of its passive. Vladimir is not exactly a sige champion so it is actually best against siege comp you are facing. This makes is somewhat situational, but not straight up bad.

Spirit visage gives better sustain and you should also note that hp regen and heals scale off resists better than hp. Warmog does not give that much more hp (and AP) than other items that offer much hp to really justify it as a more efficient purchase compared to other items. Besides those usually come with nice chunk of resits to amp your effective hp more.

Tank vlad works really well, but putting warmog in there as a core is somwhat suboptimal. Against siege comps however is is an excellent item, but you need so much hp to activate the passive and the item is just so much less god efficient without its passive when compared to other defencive options. Maybe as 3rd or 4th items it can have its passive working? I have no experience on that really.
