Unfortunately, she's not like Wukong, Jarvan, etc. There's no actual way to deal good damage and tank at the same time as most bruisers. She needs Trinity for bursting and chasing early-mid game. She needs Blade of the Ruined King/Hextech for late game sustain, chasing and to keep up with everybody in terms of damage. After those 2 core items you can go for defensive ones like Shurelya's (that's offensive as well) and GA. Health is not so effective on Poppy, as it makes her passive worse. She's not a tanky DPS, but can be played as a carry. Atma's is weak nowadays and doesn't do much because of the health thing I just mentioned. Zephyr: she doesn't need the attack speed at all; BT: won't give her enough sustain, as all the damage she deals comes from her Q. A nice build would be: Mercs, Trinity, Gunblade/BotRK, GA, Infinity Edge, situacional (Malmortius for the shield, Randuins for the amazing passive and active and >>a bunch of other items<<).

t;dr: Just don't stack HP on her, or build just one offensive item ;she's a burst champion and a natural tanky champion. Q can crit.

And sorry for my gibberish.
