Durendal, your assessment is totally biased. Vlad is not Sumanai.

He is truest Berserker for Arts Team to date. If you favor Berserker as primary DPS for Arts Team, Uncle Vlad is the right answer.

Outside Arts Team, he is your regular above average Berserker.

Inside Arts Team, especially when paired with Waver and Tamamo, you can have solid long-lasting Berserker capable to nuke enemies with Kazikli Bey like no tomorrow. If you didn't have either of them (as you may access one of them from support), Mashu alone is still good to provide basic protection and teamwork he needs.

Vlad uniqueness is his capabilities to hit NP by using his normals faster than other Berserker. I have both Nightingale and Vlad, and I still say Vlad hit NP faster than her at same A-Q-A chain; that NP spam uniqueness isn't go in vain, as that's exactly what he need to be reliable DPS in Arts team following Arts team shenanigans and what NP Chain could do on Arts team.

Nothing wrong with his skill set as well. Its decent enough for regular purpose and his skill set not demand players to hit Lv. 10 Skill ASAP to be truly useful as either 4/4/4 or 6/6/6 do good enough compare to Kintoki and Cu Alter who obviously demand 10/10/10 to reach their said epicness.

He is a good entry-level 5* Berserker, definitely not Sumanai.

If you want a good Berserker with not much to invest for because you want to invest on other while also capable to hit NP and do Arts Chain with your party on your demand, Vlad is the best choice. Having him in Arts team is simply awaken his true potential.
