For starters the lane is more stout(shorter) which means your pool can cover more distance safety wise. For this reason most Vladimir Mid players will bring Storm Raiders Surge, allowing them to chunk their mid laner's health when the opposing jungler ganks; applying the SRS movement speed boost and run back to their tower in safety which results in a pretty much guaranteed save without burning flash. With this in mind, you can start to use your summoners more aggressively. Don't forget that if your mid laner is too tanky for you to apply your SRS, you should not be playing aggressively as you wont be able to run away as safely without burning a summoner spell. Having this "safety" advantage puts you on the level of a mobile mid laner(Fizz, LeBlanc, etc.) which means the enemy jungler has less opportunity to gank you since he knows you will escape, which in a sense will discourage him from visiting the mid lane. Of course, this is how you can indirectly make the lane easier.
Now if you're looking for some direct options against the match ups you mentioned:
I moved this part of my reply INTO MY GUIDE. It's under the match up section, just click on the portrait of the champ's you mentioned. I literally copied and pasted whatever I wrote here into the match up description. It was really long and looked awkward and uneasy on the eyes to read. So yea, in the guide now go check it out.
Spirit Visage will be your most effective item against them. Don't be afraid to be useless all early game by rushing SV as Vladimir is a scaling beast, and late game is where you will have your moment to shine.
PS. Personally i don't agree with your choice of keystone, as i usually grab Stormraiders, but great guide nevertheless.
