Why Build Teemo as a Tank (Bruiser)
Heartsteel? Why?
Because it's fun.
Tankmo builds weaponize base damage in Teemo's kit (most notably E) and any runes and items that he takes.
Being ranged (although short ranged), allows him to fairly easily proc Hearsteel, dealing a solid chunk of damage, and applying E.
Being a tank (or bruiser), he can now valiantly charge in to Q the enemy ADC without too much fear.
Liandry's burn deals 2%maxHP per second and doesn't care about your AP at all.
And while shrooms are now no longer a death sentence in and of themselves, they still deal some damage, apply Liandry, and a significant slow!
This build can be played on both top and mid.
Wouldn't recommend it in jungle, and I am unsure of how it plays on bot/support.
Do note that if you intend on playing Teemo mid, you'll most likely need to go Grasp + Second Wind + Doran's Shield in the large majority of the games.
