You decide for yourself.
I would like more details on this if possible. I find it hard to believe that one dragon could cause a snowball effect to the point where a (assumed) jungler can snowball past both mid solos.
If anything, I'm always down for more tips to be an even better jungler.

Vlad can't carry teamfights. Sure, you can go 5/0/2 and lose with bad teammates....but you still lose.
Laning Malphite is just maxing Q, and harrassing as much as you can with it then landing ulti when they are low enough to get killed. Teamfights it's ulti the carry and Q to stick on them and keep them out of the fight. R>Q>E>W. Make sure to run mana runes, masteries, and ring if you wanna stay in the lane for a long time.
Jungle Malphite is E spam to kill creep camps and use Q and red to setup ganks. Do EWEQER then R>E>Q>W if you have blue buff or high mana always W before starting creep camps to minimize damage by maximizing damage absorbed from passive. Standard jungle runes/masteries and item builds.
If you need any further information, just let me know.
Okay, I'm going to write a malphite guide. Here's my rough draft:
Jungle Malphite: 1/8/21 Aspd red/blue, armor yellow, MS quint (MR/lv blues/yellows are pretty worthwhile too) Cloth + 4-5 pots Wraith jack or start at blue. EWEQER then R>E>Q>W
HoG into mercs then Randuins/Sunfires/situational MR in order of importance
Lane Malphite: 0/9/21 or 0/21/9 Mpen red, mp5/lv blues/yellows, ms quint (again, mr/lv blues/yellows ok too) Doran's Ring + hp pot QEQEQR then R>Q>E>W Do whatever tank items you want, probably HoG into randuins with merc, Frozen Heart and situational MR. I have actually been thinking about locket on malphite recently too when laning with him. His passive + the cdr would make it pretty solid imo.
yeah i've seen sorc boots on malph and it made no sense whatsoever then i saw a malph go doran's blade -> zerkers -> 4 BF swords and end up being like 13-3-10 in 0 seconds flat it was insane

Sorc is actually pretty awesome, Q and E are both magic damage nukes that hit for like 300-500 on a short CD and his ult is magic damage too.

Since we dont have a Vlad thread - wtf do you do when its you(vlad)/x against sona/ranged DPS? No matter what I did, I couldnt harass better than sona could heal.
I took an interest in Malphite recently because during an IP farm game I noticed Ground Slam stacked with the attack speed slow from Randuin's. After testing it turns out that all attack speed slows stack multiplicatively and work off the full value of an enemy's AS rather than their level 1 AS (the only exception being the passive proc from Randuin's, which subtracts 35% of an enemy's level 1 AS before the multipliers come into effect).
So with Randuin's and Frozen Heart Malphite can slow a 2.5 AS carry down to 0.65 in a heart beat, and with all that delicious CDR can keep near 100% uptime on Ground Slam. Any non-carry or carry who doesn't go AS is going to drop to just above 0.2 (0.200 is the AS floor).
For whatever reason the idea of jumping onto a Twitch or other ranged carry and reducing them to the AS of a level 1 makes me giddy.

Duo lane Vlad is pretty rough IMO. You really need to get to level 7-9 to start facerolling noobs, and going to the duo lane really delays that longer than you want.

Vlad needs solo to scale well. He doesn't do that well in a side lane because early levels his cooldowns are way too long.
Vlad can't carry teamfights. Sure, you can go 5/0/2 and lose with bad teammates....but you still lose.
Having the worst day, I'm only level 18 and I'm a scrub and so on. But I have played DotA for many a years so I have the basics down. What I don't get is why I am almost alwasys grouped up with the worst players imaginable. I know solo queue blows, but at least it should be 50/50 I mean the other team also solo queued and should have equal scrubs. I could understand it if I played like shit and dragged my team down but i have 3 losses today with Irelia, my stats being. 9 - 0 - 12 11 - 4 - 13 15 - 2 - 9
I feel like bashing my head in, everyone who plays morde is always useless and I can't fathom why : /

That's not true. You can be matched against arranged teams, and the exp/ip points will adjust at the end of the game to reflect such advantage (in normal games).
