I think people should stop saying 'such and such a build is OP'. I can guarantee, if you ran this build into a Malzahar, you'd spend most of your game dead if the Malz has any idea what they're doing. Your build should be flexible based on the conditions of the game. There's currently no Zhonya's in your build, which should be first, second or third item on virtually any AP carry at the moment.

I also question maxing E second, particularly because it's one of the principle reasons Diana is so difficult to trade with when you have some items, and why she can get away with having lower amounts of HP in her build. While you do gain an additional 20% slow from her E, you don't really gain a huge amount in terms of being able to snowball yourself. Yes, it's only an extra 144 base damage at max rank, and an extra 120 shield, but that's equivalent to 400 AP's worth of shield, and 240 AP's worth of damage. You also have to consider that the shield magnifies any of your defensive stats even further.
