I find it almost impossible to find diamonds in FTB. I use a custom pack that preety much includes all the mods from DW, UL, and UH, plus a couple extra ones. Anybody know what mod makes it so hard to find diamonds?

it's not. There is no mod that changes the spawn rate of any ore other than Thermal Expansion... and in every modpack in FTB they have it buffed over Vanilla levels. You're just unlucky. Theres plenty of automated mining and crafting recipies that let you get diamonds really easily though, so bad luck isn't so much of an issue after a few hours.
I knew installing DeBeersCraft was a mistake.
There is.
Well, not for ALL ores... CoFH Core can only override ores it knows about. Which are its own, plus vanilla. All of those you can modify to your heart's content, and in many FTB packs this is actually used by default.
However, if that's not enough for you, you can also go completely crazy and activate the optional feature that lets you write a fully custom world generation by hand in a textfile, including or excluding any block you wish.
Use MFR Auto-spawner and Grinder to kill wither-skeleton or redcap and make your own diamonds out of the coal they drop.
In my experience diamonds are used LESS in modded minecraft since you don't have tools\armor which will break to eat them. I always end up with far more than I can easily use, sure IC2 will use a lot but it allows you to make them so it balances out, once you have auto mining and\or a nicely Lapis'd TiC pick you should be swimming in the damn things.
If you still want to have more though as already stated Thermal Expansion allows you to adjust all ores that it knows about you can create an overworld that is effectively a dense ores age if you really wanted to.

invest into a MFR Laser Drill when you have the resources. I have more diamonds than I know what to do with (660+) cuz of that. Gonna make a house out of diamond bricks :/.
No, people have been insisting that diamonds are made more rare in this or that mod pack for this or that version for ages. What happened is that the need for diamonds was increased and it exposed the differences in how people go about finding diamonds. The people who already knew how to reliably find them continued to find them. The people who (knowingly or unknowingly) left things largely to luck suddenly found their diamond supply wanting and blamed it on non-existent changes to spawn rates from this or that mod. I've never seen someone describe how they go about looking for diamonds in a methodical way that makes sense AND complain that they're getting fewer diamonds. It's one or the other, but I've never seen both.
diamond only spawns under Y 32 in the nether, and lava is at Y 32 too, so good luck finding any.
I don't think so, I have seen recipes that to make a wooden-type block you need a diamond just because... diamonds.
Actually, what you are saying is partly true, because I have found no diamonds in my new world while in vanilla I would already have half a stack, although it might be bad luck.
Get a Tinker's Construct Hammer, Wood head, Stone plates, obsidian rod. You'll blow through the rock, but you're guaranteed not to mine anything but stone. Why is that? Because you can mine all the stone around diamonds and such without risking it getting mined and dropping into lava. Just plow through the stone until you find them, then rinse and repeat. No ugly world holes, then you can come back with a fortune pick and get as many as you want.
Also, the Wand of equal trade with Treasure on it ensures they won't fall into lava.
