actually poppy thrives as being a fulltank. her W gives her huge stats buffs that are lost on buying AD. usually i pick poppy against heavy AD opponents, my only offensive item being iceborn, and then stack armor up to 450 with thornmail, sunfire cape etc. her damage doesnt come from her 80% ad ratio, but from her 8% max enemy HP ratio, so building 40 extra AD on an itemslot is pretty much eeeh. i agree that black cleaver can be a good item, but most of the time somebody else on the team buys it, and can apply it easier and faster. titanic is a good item if the enemy team is very low on damage, and not really a staple item. camille or shyvana are WAY less tanky than poppy, and even with the same items can never reach her tankiness, but they are way more offensive characters as well, and are more carry-bruisers than most others. building AD on poppy feels like a huge waste of itemslots.
