Does Support Poppy work as well as it looks it would?
If so, what would you build?

Fairly Rock, paper, scissors really. :P
She absolutely dumps on ADC's and Supp's reliant on any kind of dash for engage or escape. She also severely punishes anyone who tries to abuse the bushes too much since she can easily pull off a wall bang.
Full poke lanes give her pretty bad times though, assuming they're playing safe of coarse. Also she really benefits from working with a mobile ADC who can capitalize of a good stun and/or get on the other enemy so you don't get shredded.
I have not tried it yet but have been thinking about it. Im guessing
. I would try to build resistances after sight stone then phage but complete dead mans after phage to get the movement speed and charge proc.
might help with damage. I have experimented with assassin poppy and with cannon it works well in top lane... not so well in jungle.
I feel she is a niche counter pick to kalista, especially if the enemy team has champions who can dive (vi, assassins). Otherwise she isn't that worthwhile to take, since you can still give the utility you give as a jungler but be tankier and do more damage.
Not really. Poppy's W only blocks one dash from a champ per use so even if you block one dash from Kalista, she'll be able to use it again right after. It's much better against champs like Tristana or Corki who have a long range, longer cooldown dash.
I've been spamming the crap out of support Poppy since she came out. She has good matchups and bad matchups, I will say that Thresh wrecks your shit and that it can be really frustrating when the enemy sits waaaaaaay back from you after the first two times you got your ADC a kill but I feel she works bot well.
I go armor pen marks and movespeed quints to help your damage scale and get in position for E's better. Depending on how laning is going I might get Swifties to get more E's. Iceborn and Deadmans are good offensive tank items depending on the situation, I max Q first and then W, Q first for good damage during laning and W second for move uptime midgame and increaed movespeed.
