I don't like tank Poppy at all. In order to get the most out of her passive you want to keep her HP at around the 2k-2.5k mark. And if you just pile on a bunch of armor items her burst just isn't enough. Situationally, getting a Force of Nature, Banshee's veil, or Thornmail can be useful with either AP or AD Poppy.

Conversely, even with the regular AP or AD Poppy she can "tank" for the team as long as the team is aware that she is not playing to her strength. Between her ult, and her E she can knock baddies away from the other dps on the team long enough for them to work their mojo. But it only works if their mojo is strong and bursty enough to actually be worth saving.
