The best method (I find) for finding diamonds is going down coordinate y:14, and digging single 2h x 1w tunnels straight. Then, every 3 blocks, dig into the side down four blocks (just 1h x 4l space). I found 30 diamonds and nearly 2000 redstone within 4 days.

The key really is to get down to coordinate y:14. Diamonds only appear in chunks from 16 down, and 14 is just above where lava pools will spawn.
