 * About Diana

Your proposed ult-change on Diana doesn't really fix the problem that you mentioned, her being a tanky assassin, since it still allows her to gap close and be an assassin while being tanky. Also, Riot will never give Diana a directional dash (see how I didn't put an "I think" or "in my opinion" there? Yeah, with my luck Riot will change her tomorrow, give her that dash, and I'll be eating those words lol). Why? Because she is a Rakkor Champion, and the Rakkor theme is "ALL IN!" meaning you go in and kill everyone or you go in and die, she can't have a viable escape method (which a directional dash would be).


 * About the champions you mentioned

It took Riot almost two years to give Lee Sin an actual nerf (not talking about a -0.1 hp regen nerf or anything like that) because Lee Sin has the same problem that everyone with more than 4 abilities has, they are inherently stronger b/c he has more options. Think of Elise and how she dominated for a long time in the jungle. Or better yet think of Nidalee, she's been a safe, strong, and reliable pick ever since she came out, and it wasn't until S4 that Riot actually addressed it (and now she's back to being pretty dang strong, but thats another discussion for another day). Jayce used to be the God of top lane until the Tear changes made his mana costs/usage actually affect him. In short: as an energy champion with more than 4 abilities, I think Lee Sin will always have a spot in the ever-changing meta and be a strong pick.

Vi. To be honest I haven't noticed her being a problem. In my opinion: she is strong when used well but I feel that she is counterable to a good enough extent. Her Q is one of the most predictable skills in the game, meaning you should be able to dodge it atleast 85% of the time, and if she doesn't hit it then her team utility level has gone down considerably and the most she'll be able to do herself is punch you 2 maybe 3 times. Then there's her ult, the only thing that I would ever say is "broken" on her (she is obviously  not  a broken champion, don't get me wrong). Since it's uninterruptable and targeted its quite a strong gap closer, and since it knocks up (most evil CC in the game b/c uncounterable) it means its always going to be trouble for the enemy ADC or APC. If Vi should ever be changed it should be, again in my opinion, just an ult cooldown increase.
