I may not play her as much as many others, but I know a thing or two about tanky Diana.

Unlike what the guy above me said, Diana as a tank is very good (and played) in top lane. As a jungler she works, but she relies on gold too much, and her ganks are indeed weak. Top lane she has harass (Q also costs low mana), duel potential (you can trade with many current top laners) and good pushing abilities. She  is vulnerable to ganks. If you plan on playing her top, then its simple: off-tank Diana is best top Diana.

Nashor's Tooth is your best friend, but should only get bought after your first tank item (RoA, Zhonia's or Athene's. If you want, you can go Abissal instead of Athene's. Depends on playstyle). The other main diference is going for the Sheen upgrade. Normally top Diana goes for IBG, but Lich can be used as well. Just depends on your need for survivability/damage (I personally go for IBG). Finally, boots is all up to you. M.Pen for more dmg, CDR for more ultis (if you haven't got full CDR already), mercs for CC reduction or Tabis when VS 4 AD AA heavy champs.

Diana off-tank ends up with around 350/400 AP (you really dont need more, or you'll be an assassin) and specialise in going in after Q, WE everyone, and trying to kill the carries. If she fails, Zhonia's and w8 for CD again. Full CDR is advised to spam W and Q, but not really needed.

Hope I helped
