The smite mastery is only 10gold per smite and after early game you are saving smite for big objectives so is it really worth it to use one point for what really amounts to one ward around the 8 min mark that you would not have been able to afford otherwise?

Currently the Answer is NO.
Once you click on "Save and Use" the masteries are saved to mastery page number X (Where X = 1-10).
I completely understand what you mean with using different summoner spells on the same champion role, so what I created was, different mastery pages for the same role each with a different combination of summoner spells, so for instance my mastery pages looks like:
The one last mastery page is left as a Configurable one during champion selection, so if someone else on my team has clairvoyance and I am playing a support champ, I can get instead of C.V flash or heal.
10 Mastery pages should be enough to customize your preferences.
EDIT:
especially since I then have to remember which one is "Mastery Page 4"
You can change the mastery page name by simply clicking the default name and when done hitting ENTER.
The only role that can viably buy an early Vampiric Scepter is a jungler. This is because lifesteal procs off auto attacks, and in early game you should not be auto attacking creeps because it will push your lane too much.
One of the main ideas behind stacking Doran's is that it provides a cheap advantage for early game harrasment. If two champions with similar base stats are harassing each other, the champ with 2 Doran's will have greater sustain in lane and most likely will win the harrasments. Having more health allows you to win the skirmishes against your opponent, survive jungler ganks, last hit easier, and stay in the lane after a failed jungle gank or harassment.
This does put you behind for getting your first big purchase item, however given that a B. F. Sword (the most common big purchase for AD champs) is 1550g, spending an early 475g on a second Doran's, and consequently getting greater CS (note that after ~25 CS the dorans has paid for itself) and champ kills, can actually allow you to get that B. F. Sword sooner.

Smite has a cooldown of 70 seconds. Baron takes 7 minutes to respawn, the dragon takes 6 minutes. This gives you 6 smites within a 7 minute time span, or 4 extra smites you can use whenever for a free 10 gold. Knock out one of the siege minions in a lane, kill a random Golem... all cases where you'll also get some free gold. As the cost is an ability you can't even use in team fights in most cases (barring Annie and others), it's essentially around 120 free gold or more in the period between objectives. Even a farmer who would already get the kill, it's still an extra 10 gold for virtually no significant cost - it's fast, you barely need to travel, no mana cost.
It's not a lot, ultimately - it translates roughly to the equivalent of 1.4 gold per 10 seconds if you were to fire it off every time after cooldown (and ignoring the periods in taking down the objectives). But it is pretty effective and can give you a pretty penny, so if you have the spare mastery and are going with Smite to begin with, it can be very functional. Just realize that you can toss it out around 4 times between objectives, give or take based on the obvious desync for Dragon/Baron spawns.
