Leona is far more tank than Amumu. In fact she is the only tank that is tankey from level 1. Most (including the big three, Amumu, Rammus, and Shen) require a bit of farm or leveling before they get really tankey. Leona opens up with 18/30 AR/MR plus 30 for 6 seconds at level 1 or 2. By level 5 she has two forms of CC and +50 resistances during a skirmish.

However, she does taper off a bit late game as her damage starts to be completely negligible and the only thing she really brings to the table is CC and staying power. She becomes a great character for Tankey aura items, Randuin's, Abyssal, Frozen Heart. . .even Frozen Mallet to add that extra bit of CC to keep her team alive, but the Anon pointed it out correctly, if she is last one standing, she is pretty useless.
