What's Poppy classified as? Fighter/Tank.

Seems legit, but she's not an innate tank like Nautilus or DrMundo. In fact, most mages have more health than her. So in order to tank, she's going to want a lot of tanky items.

HOW!?!? As a tank, she'd get very little kills, thus very little gold, thus very few tank items, thus a very ineffective tank.

Guys like Braum, Leona, and Blitzcrank can tank with just a item 3143 and a item 3401 because their stats are decent enough. But Poppy's health is too low to efficiently tank.

Ok, how about a juggernaut? Nope. Ever seen her successfully lane against Darius, Garen, or Illaoi? Doesn't work.

Fine, how about a slayer? Here you go: item 3009item 3142item 3137item 3147item 3046item 3508 3x Attack Damage Quintessences, 9x Armor Penetration marks, 9x Armor Seals, 9x Magic Resistance Glyphs. Masteries: 12/18/0 (Make sure to grab Thunderlord's Decree). Just jump in whenever possible and beat the snot out of them. Unless you're laning against somebody who's really overpowered like Quinn or Vladimir, you should be fine.

Tweak the build if needed, like maybe you'd prefer a item 3153 in place of item 3508 and let me know what you think.

Wait, I thought her classification was Tank/fighter.

She's a full tank right now last I heard. She used to be a tank/assassin/fighter/melee mage/support/jungler but riot killed that.

If I were going to go a more AD build on her, I think I'd go:

item 3748item 3071item 3068item 3153item 3083item 3026

She's primary tank and secondary fighter, You have just totally wasted here tank passives which are her Iron Ambassador http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/7/74/Iron_Ambassador_Shielded.png/revision/latest?cb=20151212184648&format=webp and Steadfast Presence http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/9/9c/Stubborn_to_a_Fault.png/revision/latest?cb=20151212184904&format=webp and all her skills does cc like a tank.

She is only a fighter in early game then she become a tank late, what are you talking about saying her health is too low to be a tank when it's not and can't get kills when she can? Besides a tanks main job isn't to get kills, it is to block damage and prevent kills on your allies, so you will most likely have more assist(you get gold) than kills(you get gold) and it's quite easy getting gold with tanks especially tanks with item 3068.

DrMundo isn't a tank, he's a fighter/tank with only health sustain and one single target slow.

Darius Garen I have beat those guys, it's possible.

This might have possibly worked with old Poppy when she was played like an assassin but new Poppy is a tank and she needs defensive items.

Clearly, nobody likes the slayer build. Ok, whatever.
