The above explanations are correct in that that is how Poppy works, that is why people say building health on Poppy is bad, and health regen is OP on Poppy. But building health is still not bad on Poppy: you will proc less at high HP, but proc for longer at low HP as they wear you down. Also, many health-granting items like Shurelya, Randuin, and Warmog come with significant health regen. (As well as CDR, mana regen, and an awesome active for Shurelya.)

But the biggest reason to build health on Poppy is when one or more enemies have some kind of true damage.
