I ussually run a more AD/Hybrid Poppy. (AD poppy IS hybrid Poppy for those that don't pay attention) Ok, so the build I I've been using:

Start: rejuve bead, fairie charm and 3 health pots. (I always maintain 3 health pots until I get some sort of

Next: Philo stone, Boots (to merc treads) Sheen and finish out Trinity force. If I have the Trinity Force in under 25 minutes I am doing fine, if it takes longer then you're in trouble of being ineffective. Rounding out my must-haves with a gunblade. (Prior to Season 3 I was not a fan of the gunblade, getting it last if at all, but right now it's the best bang for Poppy's buck as far as lifesteal/leach goes.)

Then I go with speed. Zephyr and put Furor on the boots. (sometimes I put Furor before Trinity force after sheen, play it by ear.) At level 15 I make that Philo stone into Elisia's Miracle. (Rember I run heal. So not only does that item give me that extra regen without using a spot, it also CDs my summoner spell.)

Last I bring in the big guns and grab myself in IE or Black Cleaver It depends on whether I need my Nuke to be bigger or my AA's to be stronger. (Inverse to what you'd think, the beefier the other team the more you want yoru AA's over nuke.) The last item is really an "out of necessity" item. It may be that you need HP or MR or armor. . or you need more damages so you get the BC after your IE.

Now a note about wards. I've been using that 6th slot for wards or Sightstones. Always having a ward handy when you are chasing someone down pays for itself. So try and carry them around, or grab that sightstone. You can always sell it later. Plus, all those people on your team that hate you because you played Poppy and they hate Poppy's will like you a lot more if you are putting wards everywhere.

Now, it's a very expensive Build, but there isn't a cheap Poppy build. I rarely, rarely ever finish the build, usually the game finishes after Trinity force, gunblade, lvl3 boots, and maybe a sightstone or part of Zephyr. But after the Triforce all other items are gravy anyway.
