Diana is meant to be a "middle ground" between assassins and bruisers (I like my oxymoron of "tanky assassin" ^.^). Her problem is that she doesn't really "fit" anywhere. If you look at her ability numbers and ratios, she's not weak. Maybe not as strong as other assassins, but that was her original idea- sacrifice damage for tankiness.

When you get down to it, she's a hybrid. And hybrids are always less effective at either task than something completely dedicated to a specific task. Amumu will always be a better tank than Diana but she is a better assassin; Zed will always be a better single-target assassin than Diana but she is tankier and provides CC to a team.
