Her burst is great mid-late game, especially with her passive. It pops up when everything is blown and  BAM! secures a kill. However, she has no escape, none at all. You go in as Diana you better kill your target and atleast one more or you aren't coming out alive. To combat this they made her alittle tanky and gave her a shield. But often it's not enough. If you don't kill your target then you are dead unless you flash, or zhonyas or team backs you up well. Now compare that to other mid laners :Zed, Yasuo, Akali, Fizz or Ahria. Zed can easily 100-0 any target and then get out for free with a shadow. Yasuo can wreck a whole team with Ult, then he can dash away, or just disengage with Windwall. Akali is similar to Diana in that her escapes arent super easy with say a dash, but Akali has resets, kill or assist and bam ult is reset for more damage and her passive to keep sustaining. To top it off Akali has invisibilty that gives her movement speed so she can run away fairly easily. And Fizz can ult squishes from long range. Plus he has his E to escape. And Ahri has dashes and long range abilites. They are even planning on increasingAhri's mobility even more ( recent PBE notes). As a Diana main I stil think she is good and I play her all the time, but its something you have to be aware off, which is why I almost aways build zhonyas + Abysal and maybe Rylais or Banshee's. TBH I think RoA is too much mana for her. Its nice, but unless you go for full CDR you don't need it all that mana. I think Lich Bane provides enough in the mid to late game. I find Morellos to be much more effective than RoA. But RoA isn't a bad choice.
