No, I'm currently running 1/29 for durability in lane. After you run OOM when you try to kill someone, you're either forced to recall or to play passively because you are trying to regenerate a decent mana pool (so slowly!)  Chalice means less downtime between spell-fests, and longer periods of spamming before running OOM. You can trade harass (W/E/Q hit-and-run attacks, or whatever) without blowing half of your hard-won mana pool. It also means faster farming to a certain extent because you can use Q more freely.

Health regen from Tiamat is a decent point, but IMO you can get more cost effective results from philo and health pots. Health pots can also give Poppy a ridiculous advantage in low level duels due to the regen/passive synergy, though you're probably aware of that if you've played Poppy that much.
