Those are general multiplayers advices, and dont rly concern into SP, where you cant get a party at all and your equipment is much limited.
Lvl up a lil bit . run "/players 4" and begin to do RoF/Chaos Sanctuary runs ( if you kill fast enough with 4 players, go on 5 or 6 for better exp ) till lvl 55-56. Those 4 extra lvls will help you, specially the lvl 55 reaching, when u will be able to use StarStone gems.
If you are low of gold and gems get all junk as possible on those lvl up runs you will do for selling, and say thanks to the huge horadric cube xD.
Equip yourself with a power craft armor. That ctc frozen armor when struck will be helpful due to the, minimal but existing DR/MDR it gives, and ofc the def boost ( xcept when berserking ). 4 sox it with StarStones Diamonds and/or SS Rubies. Maybe diamonds are your best bet, 3,5k life in single player is ok with enough pots =).
Same with helm: sox it and go on SS diamonds. You can try to get a forcefist ( the guys before Diablo drop it ) : 3 sox and useful mods.
If you dont like that:

15% cb... donno where is that cb on ur gear, but equip urself with blood craft gloves and goblin toes. String of Ears can be really handful, if u manage to get it .
Jewelry and weaponry is more or less at ur choice ( donno which mastery did you choose/maxed, so no further advices xD )... but make sure your weapon is fast enough.

Fighting diablo:
First of all, get a bunch of healing and juv pots. Drop em on floor randomly so you can pick em up if the need arises. Of course, keep some on ur own inventory.
Get close to diablo , dont hit him. Check the dmg he can deal you with the new equipment and DR boost. Avoid WWinding him, IM can rape you , as you noticed alrdy
, instead of that, get infront on him and do some concs. when you are IM, change to berzerk ( I hope you invested at least a pt in it ). When you run berzerk, you will need to mass pots, and do hit & run , be sure to keep hitting him and never running too far away from BigDee. If the lightning kamehameha yet hurts you bad, avoid it when he begins to cast it. Same with the Super-Firestorm.
Hotkey "leap" or "leapattack" in case he boneprison you, so u are not gonna waste time crushing those bones , or dying vs IM - boneprison combo xD
Dont expect too much from your merc, he will die in 2 secs if he's act2 , the others can survive a lil longer. If its rogue, you can wear her with some shit bow with ctc amp when striking, ( vidala is so easy to get, but its only 2% ctc ; other rare bows/xbows got 5% ) so you dont have to rely on ur amp charges so often although she proly will die eventually.
Another option is just being a bullhead barb: go on berserk and hit him. With enough patience, DR, MDR and pots/juvs, I'm pretty sure you would be able to solo him . Risky, though. And not funny at all
=========================================
Those are my "few" advices. I'm pretty sure some of you guys wont like em, but I dont care at all, they worked for me, and thats the most important thing
