Taken from the wiki page:
 * 40 ability power = 870g
 * 10 mana regeneration = 600g
 * 10% cooldown reduction = 322g
 * 20% spell vamp = 550g
 * Total Gold Value = 2342g

the cost of the item is 2000 g, but if you factor in the cost of the mana regen you have:
 * 40 ability power = 870g
 * 10% cooldown reduction = 322g
 * 20% spell vamp = 550g
 * Total Gold Value = 1742g

This is way above cost-efficiency: you are paying 800g to get 8% SV and 10 % cdr.

Considering how cost-efficient health and AP are on Vladimir, I would say: get a revolver and do not evolve it until very late in the game.
