Building tank stats on Poppy makes her passive less useful, therefore the gold is better spent on offensive stats, as Poppy gains less tankyness per gold spent than other champions. The sort of exception is HP, as although you HP being higher means your passive does less, as it gets lower it will kick in at the same effect as it would have before. Seeing as this is also effective against true damage, if you're really looking to build tanky Poppy, go a health orientated route, Armor items should be Randuins/ninja tabi with the best mresist items being early hexdrinker, and later on Banshees.
