He one shots me even while I have meat shields, makes no difference that my acid fiends are attacking him, he's able to snipe me. My resists are all maxed out so just trying to figure out what i'm missing.

Cast fiends on him, optionally cast elvensong for summoned mobs, cast mythal, spam poison avatar/rain of fire on him. Recast fiends when you see their number starts to go down. Takes 1 minute or less.

Well my build is different, i am focused on Elemental + Hurricane with Acid Fiends support (maxed Plague Avatar and also i've put some points into Poison Flash). I have mythal at base lvl 1, same to Elvensong.
I found that Hunting Banshee is a bit disappointing, i think this spell needs some great items to be viable and powerful. However even without cool items it should be enough to kill Diablo in Hell difficulty.
What's your char level?

I'm guessing but I think you may be dying to his opening move which is to cast Flamestrike (the pillar-of-fire-from-the-sky thing). It's a good idea to be moving when Diablo appears since the FS targets where you are standing so it will miss if you're moving.
Fighting Diablo as a caster, I always keep moving whenever I'm not casting, basically about 60-80% of the time.
