Meh. Poppy's passive only makes her a tank vs a few select abilities that do a ton of damage in one go. Almost all of them ults. Like cho, nunu, veigar, etc. There's actually really only a handful that make the passive truly nice. She so does not have the survivability of a tank. If she gets focused, which she often does as any dps does, she goes down .5 seconds slower than normal (talking strictly passive, not with ult). Whereas a decked out tank might not go down at all. Saying she has the survivability of a tank is flat out wrong.

Say she has 2k hps and gets hit for 200 damage, 10%, her passive does nothing. 250 damage, her passive takes off 25 damage. 300 damage, her passive takes off 50 damage. After that it finally starts to get noticeable, but really, how often do you get hit for insane amounts of damage? Most things come in waves like kats ult that does many ticks of smaller damage which her passive wouldn't reduce at all or you take a lot of damage because you're taking it from multiple people which it wouldn't reduce either unless a single source is above 10%.

Allistar is sick. He is one of the most useful champs to have on a team. Most just don't seem to know it as he doesn't get many KBs. But he is one of the best tanks/support/pushers.

Sivir is also an insane farmer when she gets her richochet skill up. There are a ton.

Fiddle: Another strat you can try is get (dark winds is awesomesauce tho) Drain up priority and fear 2nd. Those 2 right there net me 1-3 kills almost every game lvls 1-5. Because so many fiddles focus on dark winds first they never expect a fully skilled Drain on them so they often stay in range far longer than they should. Even with them beating on you you can still take them with nothing but drain (1v1). This can vary a bit of course depending on levels and equipment, but if you have maxed drain, and then maxed fear, and competitive AP/HP for your level you should be fine. Just be careful if they're at full hps as drain won't one shot someone the vast majority of the time but it will take about 2/3rds of their hps if they stick around and heal you for the same.

Edit: ManWithAPlan- and why can't you post it in this thread? We PM'd a mod to change the title. People have done similar things for WoW, and there's more people on tfp that play that, and the threads fall off. We really have no need of an extra thread for LoL.
